Good start; build from this base recipe to meet your taste expectations.

The flavors went well together. I substituted a 15 ounce can of chicken broth for the 1/2 cup of water and made the teaspoon of cornstarch a heaping teaspoon because my family likes Chinese food saucy. I also upped the chicken a bit.(I used a pack of 4 boneless breasts.)
