INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
0.5 cup sliced Red Bell Pepper
1 oz Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken breast seasoned with Cajun seasoning. Sauté the chicken until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper slices and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reduced fat cream cheese until it melts and creates a creamy sauce. If necessary, add a splash of water or low-sodium chicken broth to achieve your preferred consistency.
Mix the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the skillet, ensuring everything is well-coated in the creamy Cajun sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm and enjoy your balanced, delicious meal.
