  • Whisk together the cornstarch and remaining 2 teaspoons water. Uncover the slow cooker, and whisk the cornstarch mixture into the chicken mixture in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH until the chicken mixture has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir in the chopped scallions and cilantro.
