Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
A flavorful blend of tender Cajun-spiced chicken, whole wheat pasta, and sweet bell peppers tossed in a light creamy sauce. This dish brings a good balance of protein and carbs with just enough spice to enliven your taste buds.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of water and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning generously on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly charred.
Slice the chicken into strips and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Lower the heat, add the light cream cheese, and stir to create a light creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
