Instructions

In a large zip-top bag, toss together 1 cup cornstarch, salt and pepper . Add the chicken to the bag, and give it a little shake until lightly coated. Remove the chicken from the bag, shaking off excess cornstarch, and discard the cornstarch mixture.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, about 2 to 3 minutes on both sides, then transfer to the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, broth, honey, vinegar, lemon juice, zest, sesame oil, garlic and ginger and pour over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.
About 30 minutes prior to serving, whisk together remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch with water in a small bowl and stir into the slow cooker. Turn the heat to high and allow the sauce to cook and thicken up for 20 to 30 minutes.
Serve over hot rice, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
