Strawberry Avocado Chicken and Pasta
"I wasn't really sure what to call this. But we devour it whenever I make it. This makes a wonderful light summer meal. We've found this is best when the pasta is slightly warm, so I always cook that first while doing my prep work, so I included the pasta cooking in the prep time. Once its cooked and drained I start the rest of the cooking. I can never keep leftovers of this no matter how much I make."

wont rate it bc i changed so much, but boy was this a beautiful dish! I did not use any spaghetti, since i just made this to stuff a pita, i also had no garlic so i could only use onion. The chicken seemed very tasteless to me, so next time i think marinating it would be a good idea, i put in a bunch of pepper and cumin with the chicken though and it still was sort of bland. I would recommend 2 avocadoes bc it adds great color to the dish and I LOVE avocadoes. Will definitely use this combination of ingredients again, it was so colorful! and hopefully next time ill get the chicken to be more flavorable. -
Sorry, we didn't like this. The flavors seemed off. We love avocado and we love strawberries, but we don't seem to like them together. Thank you for posting it, though. -
I just made this for dinner and it was great! I marinated the chicken in teriyaki sauce first to add flavor. My husband and I both loved it and it was super easy! Thanks for the recipe - will definitely make it again!

This was a big hit in our house I was looking for something different to the same old pasta dishes and this one intrigued me so thought I'd give it a go glad I did. Took chef #204735 advice and added a bit of red wine vinegar also seasoned chicken with salt,pepper,olive oil and a little garlic powder and alowed to sit for about 10mins before cooking. Will definately make this one again. -
This was very good. I used whole wheat rotini pasta, as it was what I had on hand. I also added salt and pepper while the chicken was cooking, and a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end to finish it. It could use a little more seasoning next time, I think, but all in all, the flavors worked well together. And the kids ate it! That's always a good thing. Thanks for this recipe, I think we will be making it again soon.
