Steps:
- Place the chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. In a medium mixing bowl or very large measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, tomato paste, chili paste, garlic, and rice vinegar. Pour over the chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. If you are available, flip the chicken over once halfway through to coat both sides. (If not, don't stress; it will still be tasty.)
- Remove the chicken to a plate and let cool slightly. Whisk the cornstarch into the slow cooker cooking liquid. Cover and cook on HIGH for 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally. If you'd like the sauce particularly thick, you can cook it for a full 30 minutes in the slow cooker OR follow the stovetop method below.
- For quicker sauce thickening, reduce the sauce on the stove: After whisking in the cornstarch, transfer the cooking liquid to a medium saucepan. Cook on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring often until the sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. (If your slow cooker insert is stovetop safe, you can remove it from the slow cooker and place it directly on the burner, but do not do this unless you are POSITIVE your insert is stovetop safe or it may crack.)
- With two forks (or your fingers if the chicken is cool enough), shred the chicken and place it in the slow cooker. If you reduced the sauce on the stove, add it back to the slow cooker now. Stir to coat the chicken with the sauce. Serve over rice, sprinkled with green onions and sesame seeds.

Steps:
- In a large heavy saute pan, heat the 3 tablespoons of Chicken broth over a medium-high flame. Add the chicken pieces (if doing the HCG diet, be sure there are 6 pieces weighing only 3.5 oz each) to the pan and saute just until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Add more broth as it evaporates, if needed. If all the chicken does not fit in the pan, saute in 2 batches or more.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the same pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper. Add the remaining broth and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes with their juice, capers, oregano and about half of the basil. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and turn them to coat in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over low-medium heat until the chicken is just cooked through.
- Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a platter. If necessary, boil the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Spoon off any excess fat from atop the sauce.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with the remaining basil and serve.

Tips:
* For best results, use a slow cooker with a 4-quart capacity or larger. * Brown the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry. * Add a variety of vegetables to the stew, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. This will help to make the stew more flavorful and nutritious. * Use low-sodium chicken broth to make the stew. This will help to keep the stew from becoming too salty. * Season the stew with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. You can adjust the amount of seasoning to your own taste. * Cook the stew on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. * Serve the stew over rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes.Conclusion:
This slow cooker chicken tomato stew is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The stew is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
