Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of 2 limes
• Zest of 1 lime
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 8 ounces pasta of your choice
• Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, lime juice, lime zest, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until fully coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
4. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the cooked pasta and set it aside.
5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside to rest for a few minutes. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet to incorporate the flavorful browned bits.
6. Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and return them to the skillet. Toss the chicken in the simmering chicken broth for a minute or two to coat them in the flavors.
7. To serve, place a portion of cooked pasta onto each plate and top it with the sliced lime chicken. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
8. Enjoy your delicious Lime Chicken with Pasta!
