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. Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
1. Cook chicken your favorite way. I usually salt and pepper it and saute until no longer pink. Set aside.
2. Cook pasta as the package direction.
3. While pasta is cooking, dice avocados, and make pasta sauce by combining rest of the ingredients.
4. 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.
5. Top with more parmesan cheese.
