Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup low-fat chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg white
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold broth until smooth to create a slurry.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining broth with the lemon juice and the cornstarch slurry. Stir well until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Chop the parsley, dill, and thyme finely, then add them to the thickened broth mixture.
Stir in the fat-free Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg white until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg white into the warm lemon herb sauce to create a light and airy foam.
Use an immersion blender or a whisk to ensure the sauce remains foamy before serving.
Serve immediately drizzled over your favorite dish, such as grilled fish or baked chicken.
