   • If using the cornstarch slurry, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir it into the sauce.
   • Re-seal the lid and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. Serve:
   • Remove the chicken and vegetables from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon and transfer to serving plates.
