Ingredients
- 1 Recipe Chili Lime Chicken optional
- 16 oz. spaghetti thin, cooked al dente
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- corn kernel fresh from 1 ear sweet corn
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 oz. can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained

- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
Creamy Blender Avocado Sauce
- 1 cup sour cream light, or Greek yogurt
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 avocado peeled and pitted
- 1-2 jalapenos, seeded, deveined and roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro packed, with leaves and stems

- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Garnishes (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare Chili Lime Chicken according to directions. When done, remove chicken to cutting board and cover to keep warm. Don't slice until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, add all of the Creamy Blender Avocado Sauce ingredients to your blender and chop then puree/liquefy until smooth.
- In the same skillet you cooked your chicken in, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat (you can use remaining oil from chicken if there's enough). Add red bell peppers, corn and garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes, or until red peppers are crisp-tender. Add diced tomatoes/green chilies and heat through.
- Add cooked pasta followed by Creamy Avocado Sauce and cherry tomatoes. Stir to combine and heat through. Taste and add additional salt, pepper, hot sauce to taste.
- Garnish individual servings with chicken and optional toppings of cheese, pepitas and fresh lime juice.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftover pasta for up to 4 days. The lime juice will keep the sauce from discoloring.
