Ozarks Cashew Chicken image

This is the Queen City's (Springfield, Missouri) version of cashew chicken. You won't eat it any where else like this. This is from my daughter's recipe collection. It's addicting.

4 cups water
8 chicken bouillon cubes
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons white sugar

1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into cubes)
1 cup all-purpose flour
