SLIP SPAGHETTI WITH CHICKEN
BROCCOLI SAUCE
 
2 c. tender cooked spaghetti
1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, raw
Optional: 1 tsp. butter
1/2 c. fat skimmed condensed chicken broth
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of dried thyme and sage
2 lg. stalks fresh broccoli
1/2 c. fresh non fat milk
1 tbsp. instant blending flour
4 tbsp. shredded Swiss style lowfat cheese
2 tbsp. dry white wine
2 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
Salt, pepper to taste

While spaghetti is cooking in boiling salted water, prepare the sauce; cut chicken breast into 1 inch bitesize cubes. Coat a non stick pot with cooking spray for non fat frying (or use 1 teaspoon butter). Brown the chicken cubes over high heat, turning to brown evenly. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside. Combine broth, nutmeg, poultry seasoning and broccoli in a pot. Cover tightly and cook about 5 to 6 minutes, until broccoli is tender crisp. Combine milk and flour; stir smooth. Stir into broccoli. Cook and stir until sauce is thick. Stir in cheese, wine and browned chicken cubes. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes, until sauce thickens. (Add a little water or milk if sauce is too thick.) Stir in parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Spoon over hot drained spaghetti.
