Simple Lime and Herb Chicken Pasta

This has seriously been one of my favorite things to make lately. It's super yummy and can be served hot or cold, so I think that makes this perfect to have as leftovers.



What you will need is:
Spices- What I usually use is: salt, pepper, garlic, paprika and occasionally poultry seasoning.
Herbs- I like fresh oregano, rosemary, basil, and parsley but you don't have to use fresh ones.
Pasta- I use a half a box of wholegrain whatever kind we have around the house. This time it was Penne.
Chicken Breast- 1 or two depending on how big they are. If they are small then two.
Olive Oil- For a half a box I use half a table spoon or less.
Lime juice- Just a squirt or two.
Parmesan to go on top. I prefer fresh but powder works too.

Okay so First things first, chop up that chicken into bite size pieces, then toss it in a frying pan and let it cook. I usually do this on pretty high heat. This is where all those spices, herbs and lime juice come to play. I couldn't tell you how much I use of those, it's all done to taste, but pretty much a little bit of everything until it smells just right. Once that's all cooked, put it in a container and cover it if you want to keep it warm, set it to the side, You will use it in a bit.

Next , or while you were frying your chicken, fill up a pot and boil some water. Once it's boiling toss in the pasta. When that's done drain it and empty it into a bowl and mix in the olive oil to keep the pasta from getting dry. You can also add more lime juice now if you'd like. Add the chicken now serve it up with a little parmesan on top!

So that's all for today!
