Place the marinated chicken in the slow cooker. Add marinade to cover chicken. Sauté mushrooms in the butter, then add to chicken and marinade in slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours.

Sorry for the low score - Disclaimer provided, Member SlapAndDash

Sorry, but I just didn't like this. The mandarine, tomato paste, soy flavour just didn't sit well for us. The marinade had alot of potential (I marinated the chicken overnight) but after I popped it in the slow cooker the ingredients separated and sort of curdled. The corn starch/milk/water brought it back a little but it seemed to lack something (onions maybe?). Disclaimer: please note that I didn't have frozen condensed orange juice and used condensed orange drink concentrate instead. I also used fresh mandarines and not tinned mandarines and as well as fresh ginger.
