Marmite Chicken

This is a dish commonly available in Chinese restaurants here in Malaysia. I am posting this recipe so that my daughter could access it from Australia where she is studying. This dish goes best with rice and stir fried vegetables. Cooking time is approximate only. I am a bit of a slowpoke in the kitchen so others may dish this up much faster than me.
