For dinner I made garlic lemon lime chicken with penne pasta. Time: about 25 minutes total. Ingredients used: 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/2 cup of lime juice, 2 cloves of garlic chopped, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 of a 16 ounce bag of organic penne pasta. Directions: boil water in a pot and add your penne. I used organic penne. It's a little bit healthier and I eat carbs like it's no one's business, so I'm trying to eat pasta in a healthy way (like there really is a "healthy" way to eat pasta. I eat way too much pasta for it to be considered healthy.) Combine the lemon juice, lime juice, chopped garlic, and salt and pepper together in a plastic bag. It should look something like this 

Shake the bag until everything looks mixed together and set aside. I used half of the chicken breast, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with using the whole thing. Cook the chicken in a skillet. Once the chicken and penne are cooked, take both off of heat. Strain your penne and  plate. Add chicken and pour your "marinade" over the entire dish. Enjoy!

This dish has a lot of zesty flavor. Add a salad on the side for some added protein. Happy Cooking!
