Lay the chicken in a single layer in a dish.
Mix together the sherry, egg white, ginger and cornflour.
Pour this over the chicken, and turn the pieces to make sure they are covered.
Leave to stand for 15 minutes.
Spray a large pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Gently dry fry the chicken breasts for 15 to 20 minutes until they are cooked through and browned.
Allow to stand for 5 minutes before slicing thickly on the diagonal.
Combine the lemon juice, lime cordial, caster sugar, water and cornflour in a small pan.
