2. Transfer chicken to cutting board; cool slightly. Shred chicken in coarse shreds using 2 forks.
3. Blend water, cornstarch, ginger, salt & pepper until smooth. Whisk cornstarch mixture into cooking liquid. Cook, uncovered, on high 15to 20 minutes, or until thickened. Return shredded chicken to crock; mix well. Serve on buns
Special Notes
Buns are included in points value. I used ginger from the tube instead of fresh. It's just way easier! The ginger actually MAKES the recipe, I think. This recipe was doubled. The version I have is cut in half. You can double it to make more. It would then serve 12. This was sssoooo good. We all loved it! Perfect for fall. I made it all the night before & just put the crock on in the morning. Again, easier! Enjoy!
