Ingredients
1 1/3 cup Swanson’s 33% Less Sodium Chicken Broth1/4 cup Lemon Juice6 Tbsp Smart Balance Buttery Spread3 cloves Garlic1/4 tsp Pepper, black2 Tbsp Corn Starch
1. In a small sauce pan mix chicken broth, lemon juice, Smart Balance, garlic and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes then remove from heat.
2. In separate heat resistant bowl mix corn starch with 1/2 cup warm liquid mixture, a little at a time. Mix until smooth and consistent. Slowly pour corn starch mixture back into the sauce pan while whisking mixture. Watch thickness and add only enough corn starch mixture to achieve the thickness you want.
If sauce is lumpy strain with a mesh wire strainer then re-whisk. Sometimes it helps to strain and whisk multiple times to get a good consistent sauce.
Cool completely then store in a mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Open the jar and warm it in the microwave just before serving.
For an extra Lemony taste add 1/4 cup extra lemon juice; or add 2 Tbsp white wine for a more sophisticated taste. Other additions can include dill, ginger, onion, and/or Agave Nectar (for a sweeter sauce).
Sauce can also be watered down to thin if it gets thicker during storage.
Warm and serve over entree or vegetables.
Makes approximately 12 to 14-2 Tbsp servings.
