This vibrant and nutritious Chicken and Avocado Pasta Salad is the perfect meal to brighten your evening and fuel your day!
Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions, usually around 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
While the pasta is cooking, grill or pan-cook the chicken breasts over medium-high heat for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, diced avocado, chopped tomato, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the pasta salad mixture and gently toss to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes for the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately, or cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving for a cooler option.
