1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp double cream or crème fraîche

Brown the spring onions and add them to the slow cooker as well. Add the stock, mustard and honey and cook on low for 4 hrs.
Stir in the cream or cre?me frai?che and peas, then cook for a further 15 mins with the lid off. Re-crisp up the chicken skin under the grill, if you like.
