Cook on LOW for 4 hours or on HIGH 2 hours, or just until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken from crock pot with a slotted spoon, leaving sauce behind.
Dissolve 2 teaspoons of cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of water and pour into crock pot.

Shred chicken with two forks and then return to pot and toss with sauce before serving.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice, quinoa, noodles, or spinach!
