INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
0.33 cup Low-Fat Milk (1%)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and coat lightly with Cajun seasoning.
Dice the red bell pepper and mince the garlic.
Cook the whole wheat pasta as per the package instructions; drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until peppers are softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, stirring continuously to create a roux, then slowly pour in the low-fat milk while stirring to avoid lumps.
Allow the sauce to thicken, simmering for 2-3 minutes; adjust seasoning with extra Cajun seasoning if desired.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring it is evenly coated with the creamy sauce and spices.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your flavorful, balanced meal.
