Lime Chicken Pasta
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 ⓘ
Instructions
- 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.
