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

*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.
In a medium sized bowl, combine cornstarch, broth, lime juice, mustard, garlic and salt. Mix well.
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.
