It is tangy and sweet, can be served alone or over rice or noodles, and can be garnished at the end so your more picky eaters don’t have to deal with “the green things!”
Cut boneless chicken into 1 inch pieces {I used chicken tenders to make cutting even easier} and place the pieces in a large ziplock bag with cornstarch and pepper
Give the chicken a quick saute in a skillet with a little oil
Turn pieces to get both sides golden

Combine sauce ingredients and pour over all
Set cooker to low and 4 hours later, dinner is ready!
