Lime Chicken Pasta Recipes

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

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

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.

GARLIC LIME CHICKEN & PASTA

Garlic Lime Chicken & Pasta image

Provided by mama2chiklettes

Categories Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime, juice of
4 -6 chicken breasts
8 ounces beer
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh basil, clippings
2 limes, juice of
4 cups whole wheat spaghetti (thin noodles)
1 zucchini, diced
1 cup grape tomatoes (optional)
1/2 cup asiago cheese, shreds

Steps:

Saute garlic in the olive oil, add the juice of one lime. Nestle in the chicken breasts and fry on high heat to brown up the outsides real well. Pour in about 2 tbsp of the beer, and let simmer down on high heat.
Remove the chicken to cut into bite sized pieces (probably not done yet, but that's ok). While you are cutting the chicken, the sauces in the pan are still doing their thing.
Return the chicken to the pan and let them cook in the scrumptious saucy bits of goodness for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together the vinegar, mustard, brown sugar in a cup. Pour it over the chicken chunks and stir.
Start sauteeing the zuchinni in some olive oil with a little sea salt.
After about 3 minutes of that getting settled, add in the remainder of the beer, the lime juice, and the basil. Let everything cook until sauce is thickened - just a couple minutes.
Toss with cooked pasta & zuchinni, top with asiago & serve with a salad. YUM!
