1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cornstarch, cold water, sugars, soy sauce, vinegar, pineapple, garlic, ginger and ground black pepper. Let simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and bubbles. Set half of sauce aside in a bowl.
2. Prepare grill for high heat.
3. Grill chicken approx. 6 to 10 min per side,or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Baste chicken often during cooking with sauce set aside earlier.
4. Top with left over sauce and toasted sesame seeds and serve over rice.
