INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (dry)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Light Cream
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the chopped red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Pour in the light cream, stirring to combine the flavors. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes on low heat.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything gently to coat in the creamy Cajun sauce.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve hot.
