Spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray.

Place chicken and sauce into slow cooker set on low and cook 4 -5 hours.
Remove chicken from the sauce to a chopping board and cut into 1-inch pieces.
Spoon out about 3 tablespoons of the sauce into a small bowl and combine well with the cornstarch to make a thick paste. Stir this into the sauce in the cooker until well mixed, then return cut up chicken to the pot. Continue to cook another 15 – 20 minutes until sauce thickens.
