This was originally spaghetti with lemon chicken from the free gournet recipes site, but I can't leave a recipe alone and always have to add my own touches. Prep time and cook time approx. and doesn't include chicken cooking time. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons cornstarch |
2 teaspoons salt |
3 1/2 cups chicken broth |
1 lb cooked chicken breast, cut into strips |
3 tablespoons bottled lime juice (or fresh) |
1 tablespoon cilantro (or parsley, to taste) |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
8 ounces spaghetti, cooked according to the package instructions |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
Directions:
1. *I cut the chicken into small bite sized pieces and then cook it in a pan sprayed with cooking spray or with a small amount of butter and lemon pepper. You can use chicken cooked in water and then use the broth from the chicken. Set aside.
2. In a medium sized bowl, combine cornstarch, broth, lime juice, mustard, garlic and salt. Mix well.
3. In a large skillet, cook cornstarch mixture until thickened. Add chicken strips. Cook until heated through. Sprinkle cilantro or parsley over top. Toss with cooked spaghetti.
