Creamy Chipotle Chicken Linguine with Cilantro Lime Drizzle is a bold and flavorful dish that pairs tender chicken with linguine coated in a smoky, creamy chipotle sauce. Finished with a zesty cilantro lime drizzle, it’s a vibrant fusion of spice and freshness in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz linguine
- 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Directions:
Step 1: Cook Linguine
Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Sear Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make Creamy Chipotle Sauce
In the same skillet, add minced chipotle peppers and garlic. Cook for a minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 4: Combine Linguine and Chicken
Add the cooked linguine and seared chicken back to the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy chipotle sauce.
Step 5: Prepare Cilantro Lime Drizzle
In a small bowl, combine chopped cilantro with fresh lime juice. Drizzle this mixture over the creamy chipotle chicken linguine.
