Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 whole Lime
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 250 grams Spaghetti noodles
• 2 whole Avocado
• 0.25 whole Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 0.5 whole Jalapeño (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 50 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Juice and zest one lime. Cut the second lime into wedges for serving.

Step 2

Finely chop the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime zest, garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and coat thoroughly. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to marinate.

Step 5

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

While the chicken is cooking, make the guacamole: Mash the avocados in a mixing bowl. Finely dice the red onion, chop the cilantro, and, if using, mince the jalapeño. Add them to the mashed avocado along with the cumin, the juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

In a large bowl, toss the cooked spaghetti noodles with the guacamole, adding the water a little at a time to create a creamy consistency.

Step 9

To plate, divide the guacamole noodles evenly between two plates. Top with the sliced chicken breasts, then garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Lime Garlic Chicken with Guacamole Noodles!
