Chipotle Chicken Pasta

I had some extra chicken tenders & mushrooms that needed to be used so I decided to make a chipotle chicken pasta for lunch yesterday. I made an alfredo sauce & added some of the adobo from chipotles in adobo to it. I also through in some chipotle powder. Doesn't look very appetizing, but it sure tasted good!

Chipotle Alfredo

I crushed a large clove of garlic & put it in the pan while the oil was heating up. Removed the garlic, then added chicken, mushrooms, onion & chopped chipotles. After a few minutes I added a splash of chicken stock to the pan. At the very end I added parsley & scallions.

Mixed in the pasta & alfredo sauce, topped with grated parmesan & more parsley.

After taking a couple bites, I decided the dish needed a little acid, so I squeezed lemon juice on it. That's what it needed. Very tasty!
