The combination of the chicken marinade and creamy pasta was very delicious. I added zucchini and mushrooms. Otherwise …..I didn’t change a thing.

so i used shrimp here. i just thought the flavor would go well... i was right! 😋 i seared the shrimp with the onions and garlic and just followed the recipe pretty much from there. i also used chickpea pasta to make it a little healthier. something i think i'd make again.

Great recipe! Chicken was super flavorful, sauce was a little bit bland. Next time, I’ll add a bit more cream cheese and salt, and it will be perfection!

I used a can of chicken broth, a can of diced tomatoes and a whole brick of cream cheese because I had a couple pounds of chicken tenders. It made the perfect amount of sauce IMO for a whole box of pasta. It was really good and creamy, but next time I’m going to kick it up by adding some of the marinade spices to the sauce as well.

Turned out amazing. Tons of flavor. Was just missing tomatoes. Still was good without.

This was easy to make and I thought tasted good. My husband didn’t like the cream cheese in the sauce. I guess he’d rather use real cream.

It was very good, the chili lime matches perfectly with the creamy garlic sauce.

I felt like the cook my husband is. Everyone loved it. I will most certainly make this multiple times in the future.

Family of 3 adults rated this 7/10. The marinated chicken is very flavorful and complimented the pasta very well. I may have under seasoned the pasta sauce, because once at the table, I added salt to my plate and the pasta perked up in flavor. Next time I think I will blend all the chicken with the pasta.

Worked well, might tweak the chicken’s seasonings in later installments to make it brighter. Big hit with the family.

it was okay, it still was a little bland for me so I had to add more seasoning.

This was really good. I wanted to hold down the spices so I didn't add the cayenne pepper feeling the chili power was enough. Then based on the other reviews, I added a T+ cilantro (it goes well with lime) and used Penzeys' black and red pepper blend to spice that up. It worked well.

chicken was really good but pasta was definitely bland. maybe add more chili and lime to chicken also.

The chicken was really good but the whole family found the pasta kinda bland. Would make again but would jazz up the pasta a little.

This was amazing! Didn't have fresh tomatoes so I used 1/2 can of diced Italian tomatoes (my Husband isn't a tomato lover) also, we didn't have any charcoal so I cooked it in the skillet and it was still great. Thank you for this recipe, it's a keeper!
