We absolutely love Jalapeño Lime Chicken Alfredo. 

It's a fusion of some of my favorite things, jalapenos, limes and alfredo sauce. Definitely a favorite variation of chicken alfredo with a little kick!  This dish is also fabulous with shrimp, let me tell you! Delicious! 

I suggest when making this keep the kids and husband away from the kitchen with tasting equipment or it just might not make it to the table! This is always gobbled up sadly with no leftovers for the hubby to take to work! 

Feel free to adjust the spice dependent on how hot your jalapeños are, this time mine were hot so one would do but sometimes I need 3 just to have a little heat.

  8. Hi Serena! I totally love discovering new flavor combinations, and thanks for inspiring me, especially with the lime and cilantro in the Alfredo sauce. Funny that we both posted different Alfredo sauces this week. I am going to add some lime and cilantro to my Alfredo sauce this weekend. I don't know about the jalapenos:). Have a great weekend!!

  14. Way to fuse some of my favorite ingredients! I love a good alfredo, especially the idea of doing a spicy kicked up version with the jalapeno and lime.

  16. i DID try this last night and it was very good! my husband is not a fan of jalapeno so i substituted mushrooms, but the lime and cilantro combination is really great with the alfredo sauce. i actually had the cilantro and lime on hand for a mango salsa (for salmon) so it was a great way to use the rest of the cilantro!

  20. I wish I could make something like this on my own)) It looks simple, but I know there are always a lot of opportunities for doing it wrong. Thanks for your guidance. I hope I will improve my cooking skills by directly following your directions.

    These flavors will thrill my hubby, who is a pepper-head, and a lime-lover. I'll be making this in the next day or two. Can't wait!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I'm also having my daughter and her gf and dairy-free friend make your version of black bean brownies. They look absolutely divine!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do! My black bean brownies aren't gf and due have butter but I have had some comments on other recipes that sub gf flour and reviews had great results. As for the butter in the recipe I think coconut oil would work great and impart a nice flavor. Have a great week!

  23. This looks delicious! I've got to try this! #SITSBlogging

  24. Looking forward to making this! Jalapeños are missing from your ingredients list. I see on one of the pictures you say to taste. Do you have an amount you feel balances with the lime and cilantro?

    1. Hi! So sorry glad you caught that. It will really be dependent on how how the jalapenos are! When they are really hot 1 will be pleanty but most times I use to when they are on the milder side. Thanks so much for catching this.

  25. I tried this recipe last night. We love jalapenos so used two large ones, which was perfect. However, the lime juice was too much. I bought three limes but as you know, limes come in different sizes so the large ones...too much lime. Maybe if I used three small or just two or even one and a half large? With this knowledge, I'll do the recipe again, just know to not put the juice of three large limes.

  26. Saw this dish shared by a chef blogger we had stay at our Bucks County B&B a while back and knew I had to try it. Added an extra jalapeño (since they're basically green bell peppers this year), a FULL onion and approx. 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne to bring up the heat. Also subbed light cream for the heavy and added pasta water to my sauce. It was delicious. My son said "best Mexican pasta I've ever had!" Next time I think I'll toast some Parmesan bread crumbs and sprinkle them on for a little crunch. It's a keeper!
