Best Garlic Lime Chicken Pasta Recipes

BLACKENED CHICKEN OVER GARLIC-LIME PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Coat chicken in blackening seasoning. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and brown 4 minutes on each side. Reduce heat and cook until chicken is no longer pink (mine took another 4-5 minutes). Remove chicken to a plate and reserve. Add remaining tbsp of olive oil and tbsp of butter to the pan. Add garlic and sauté over medium heat 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle flour and cook one more minute. Deglaze pan with tequila, cook 1-2 minutes. Add chicken broth and lime juice, bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes or until thickened, add parsley. Add drained pasta to the skillet and heat through. Add chicken back to the skillet and heat through. Serve immediately.

GARLIC LIME CHICKEN & PASTA

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!
