Enjoy a vibrant and creamy Cajun-infused pasta dish featuring tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and colorful bell peppers tossed in a light, low-fat cream cheese sauce. This dish delivers a spicy kick balanced with a rich creaminess, perfect for a filling yet healthy meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
0.5 cup Red Bell Pepper
0.5 cup Green Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic (minced)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped red and green bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the peppers soften.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat cream cheese, allowing it to melt and create a creamy sauce. Mix until well combined.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the skillet, tossing gently to coat with the sauce and distribute evenly.
Adjust seasoning with extra Cajun seasoning if desired, and serve immediately.
