My dinner tonight:





From: http://www.campbellskitchen.com/swansonbroth/SpecialtySiteRecipeDetail.aspx?specialty=swansonbroth&recipeID=51003&EID=4008&MID=3278404&LID=3137

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Serves: 4


Ingredients:

3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups Swanson® Chicken Stock
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley OR 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 of a 1-pound package thin spaghetti, cooked without salt and drained (about 4 cups)

Directions:

Stir the cornstarch, stock, lemon juice, mustard and black pepper in a medium bowl until the mixture is smooth.

Cook the chicken and garlic in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until the chicken is well browned, stirring often. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Stir the cornstarch mixture in the skillet. Cook and stir until the mixture boils and thickens. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the parsley. Toss the chicken mixture with the spaghetti.

Variations:
I had a package of fresh mushrooms that needed to be used so I cooked them up and added them to this. I like mushroom/lemon/chicken combinations.

Thoughts:
This was an easy recipe and very tasty. Made up one dinner for me tonight and three for the freezer for my "mom meals" for days when I do not feel like cooking.

I think I'm going to have to try this.

That looks kinda gross.

sounds good! how does it do with being frozen? i've never thought to freeze cooked pasta, but it has an amazing appeal convenience-wise

I've never had an issue with it. It does not have quite the same texture as fresh cooked but for grab and go lunches for work of "I don't want to turn the stove on" meals I'll accept it.

whee! thanks :) i'm sold. solo cooking is one of my least fav things. so being able to portion something out (¬ eat it for x meals in a row) is bonus :)
thanks again
