In a small bowl whisk together the butter, Worcestershire, Dijon, flour, sugar, thyme and ½ teaspoon salt plus ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

Cook on low 5 - 7 hours or high 3 - 4.
Top the chicken with the cheese and put the lid on to melt.
To serve place the chicken breasts on a platter and top with the onions. Ladle the juice over them.
