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.


From the Cook
1/2
Avocado Cream Pasta with Chicken and Bacon
Instructions
1
|
Bring salted water to a boil to cook your pasta. Once the water is bubbling, toss in your pasta and let it cook to your desired tenderness.
2
|
While the pasta is cooking, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil in a bowl or food processor and mix well. Toss in slices of avocado, fresh chopped parsley, and a bit of salt and mix until smooth and creamy.
3
|
Rinse and drain your pasta and set it aside.
4
|
Put a pan over the stove and let the pan heat up to cook your bacon. (You can add a touch of salt to the pan to keep the bacon grease from splattering). Cook your bacon to the desired crispness and set aside on a paper towel. Chop up the bacon into pieces, and reserve a bit of the bacon drippings in the pan for your chicken.
5
|
Season your chicken with paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook your chicken tenders in the pan over medium heat, both sides, for about 2-3 minutes (or more if necessary) on each side. Remove them from the heat and let them cool on a cutting board for a few minutes.
6
|
Combine your pasta and avocado sauce, mixing well. Top with bacon and slices of chicken.
7
|
Garnish with a bit of lemon zest and fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Avocado Cream Technique 🥑Blend room temperature avocados with a splash of pasta water to create an ultra-smooth, silky sauce that coats pasta perfectly without oxidizing.
- Bacon Crispness Hack 🥓Start bacon in a cold pan and gradually increase heat to render fat slowly, ensuring maximum crispiness without burning.
- Chicken Searing Secrets 🔥Pat chicken tenders completely dry before seasoning and searing to achieve a golden-brown crust that locks in moisture.
- Pasta Water Magic 💧Reserve 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining to help emulsify and thicken the avocado cream sauce if needed.
- Flavor Layering Technique 🌶️Toast cayenne and paprika briefly in olive oil before adding garlic to release deeper, more complex spice notes.
