INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Boil water and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the seasoned chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Remove the chicken and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Reduce heat and stir in the low-fat cream cheese, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and chicken strips to the skillet, gently tossing everything together until well combined and heated through.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed and serve warm.
