Description
The only thing better than luscious avocados, crispy bacon, and spicy pan-seared chicken is a dish that combines them all — over pasta! Feel free to experiment, as reviewers have done, and make the dish your own. The recipe is a Yummly original.

Just didn’t work out very well for me. Not a lot of flavor. Wasn’t bad, but wasn’t great either.

Absolutely amazing, I added a bit more lemon, and in the morning when reheating for breakfast I used an egg and it was amazing breakfast too!

Used 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder for garlic, didn’t have bacon, cut chicken thighs. The ingredients are confusing, I used 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Boyfriend says 4 stars, I thought it was weird but ok. Maybe would add another avocado in the future.

I had to cut a few corners and improvise a bit and it was still super delicious! Will definitely make again.. with the proper ingredients next time.

This was amazing haha I added a dairy free Alfredo sauce with an avocado oil base to make it creamier.

I was really unsure about an avocado sauce/cream. But wow it tastes good, and coated the pasta so easily. Used linguine though. Cooked the garlic a Lil beforehand. It's filling and worth the try!

It was delicious! I did have to veriate from the original bc my avocado wasn’t ripe enough. I added pesto to the avocado mix to soften it and also added crushed red pepper to the chicken. I highly recommend it.

Really good stopped my husband from making fajitas so I used chicken that was already cut still turned out amazing

REALLY LIKED THIS RECIPE! I went light on the salt and cayenne but wished I had use more. The chicken and bacon were excellent with the pasta. I used minced garlic out of the jar but will try sautéed next time when adding to sauce.. overall i found it very good and will make again.

I used lime juice instead of lemon, so delicious!!
Yummly User 3 years ago
Tasty, but I will not be making it again.
Yummly User 3 years ago
Excellent! Will definitely do again. I cooked the garlic before, as a previous comment suggested. Also I use 2 avocados instead of one.
You can eat it warm or cold, both are good!

It turned out really well. We added some mushrooms and inky had smoked paprika on hand.

I was a little hesitant to make this but it’s super yummy!! Added garlic powder and onion powder to chicken but that’s just my own preference. Definitely recommend!

Good easy dish. Would use a little more pasta and I put a little extra lemon juice (but it was unnecessary).
Yummly User 3 years ago
Very nice. Added sour cream to the avocado and fried small peppers with the chicken and added freshly sliced peppers to the pasta. Awesome delicious recipe.

Pretty good. The chicken and the sauce went really well together—it took me a while though, so it will likely be a while before we have it again, if we do.

This was okay. The recipe would have been more helpful by explaining whether to serve hot or cold, or to keep the garlic raw or cook it. The way the recipe reads, it is assumed cold with raw garlic. But we found it a lot more pleasant warm but still found the raw garlic to be overpowering. I would recommend either pan frying the garlic before throwing it in the sauce, or using a very sparing amount of raw garlic.

I didn’t think it was worth the work. But my husband thought it was very tasty!
