Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Savor a vibrant and creamy twist on classic chicken pasta. Tender, Cajun-spiced chicken pairs perfectly with whole wheat pasta and crunchy bell peppers, all enveloped in a light, tangy cream cheese sauce. This dish boasts a satisfying balance of protein and flavor that’s ideal for a hearty dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat pasta in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Pat chicken breast dry and season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and sauté for about 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through and golden on the outside.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until peppers start to soften.
Reduce heat to low and stir in light cream cheese until it forms a smooth, creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to achieve desired consistency.
Return the chicken strips to the skillet and add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together to coat well with the creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, protein-packed meal.
