Method:

1. Cut the chicken breast into very thin slices. The best way to do this is to place the meat on a board then, holding it firmly with one hand, slice it with the other.

2. Blend the corn-flour with the water and work half into the pieces of chicken. Set aside for a minute or so.

3. Heat the oil till very hot. Fry the chicken pieces in it for 1 1/2-2 minutes, stirring and tossing them as they cook.

4. Add the stock, seasonings, sherry, remaining corn-flour mixture and oyster sauce. Bring to a good boil and simmer for 1 1/2 minutes. Turn into a heated dish and garnish with parsley.
