Savor the vibrant flavors of succulent Cajun-spiced chicken mingling with whole wheat pasta and sweet bell peppers in a light, creamy sauce. This dish offers a delightful balance of spice and creaminess that excites the palate, making it a satisfying meal perfect for a hearty dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season it evenly with the Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell peppers and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the light cream cheese. Allow it to melt, creating a creamy sauce that coats the vegetables.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and drizzle in the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm.
