Easy Mandarin Chicken

1 whole boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 4 equal pieces (1lb)
vegetable oil cooking spray
2/3 cup sugar (or less, according to taste)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup water
4 teaspoons cornstarch

Spray chicken breasts with vegetable oil spray. Grill chicken breasts 4-6 minutes per side or until done (chicken should be brown in spots). Chop chicken into bite size pieces, set aside.
Combine sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, oil, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan. Heat over medium until sugar is dissolved, stirring often. Bring to boil. Combine cornstarch and water. Add to sauce pan, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer 4-6 minutes or until sauce thickens. Pour chicken into a large frying pan over medium heat. Heat until chicken sizzles, then reduce heat and pour sauce over the chicken. Heat through. Serve over white rice.
