Submitted by chefpam

"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: 9
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3 1⁄2 cups chicken broth

• 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.

I love citrus, and I love mustard, so really cant go wrong with this dish! A delightfully tangy pasta dish which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you chefpam, this lovely recipe was made for Spring PAC 2014
