LIME CHICKEN PASTA



Lime Chicken Pasta image

I really loved my friend's lemon chicken pasta recipe. Unfortunately, the only ingredients I had from her recipe was chicken & pasta. So I substituted most of the ingredients. Surprisingly, it was simply great and everyone liked this one more than the original. I make this over the summer months and this is definitely our favorite pasta recipe. My sister-in-law likes it so much that every time she has a dinner party, she makes this. Everyone who tries it asks for the recipe.

Time 25m

Yield 4 main, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb chicken, chopped bite size (I prefer thigh, but breast is good, too)
1 lb pasta (penne or ziti works great)
2 -3 avocados
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, packed and chopped
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated (more for topping)
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 lime, zest of (optional)
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Cook chicken your favorite way. I usually salt and pepper it and saute until no longer pink. Set aside.
  • Cook pasta as the package direction.
  • While pasta is cooking, dice avocados, and make pasta sauce by combining rest of the ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, toss chicken, pasta, sauce, salt & pepper. After the pasta is well mixed, add avocado and toss lightly so avocado doesn't get mashed up.
  • Top with more parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. If you're using thighs, cook them for a few minutes longer to ensure they're cooked through.
  • Use fresh limes: The zest and juice of fresh limes give this dish its bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it's cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Add the sauce to the chicken immediately: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. If you wait too long to add the sauce, the chicken will dry out.
  • Serve immediately: Spaghetti with lime chicken is best served immediately after it's made. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you wait too long to serve it, the pasta will be dry and the sauce will be too thick.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with lime chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The combination of zesty lime, flavorful chicken, and al dente spaghetti is sure to please everyone at the table. Plus, it's a healthy and affordable dish that's perfect for families on a budget. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal that's sure to impress, give spaghetti with lime chicken a try!
