Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce and cornstarch until smooth.
- Add honey, tomato paste, diced onion, garlic and crushed red pepper.
- Add chicken and bell pepper to sauce, toss to coat.
- Transfer to slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours. (Can leave up to 6 hours on low, chicken and red peppers will just be extra soft.)

Notes
Recipe Note: I gently toss the freshly steamed broccoli in the sauce with the chicken and serve it all over rice!
