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.
