INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
56 g Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Bell Peppers, mixed
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped Onion
1 cup Spinach
PREPARATION
Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and softened.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked through and lightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the bell peppers and spinach, stirring for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender.
Lower the heat and stir in the light cream cheese until it melts into a creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to achieve a smooth consistency.
Combine the pasta, sliced chicken, and vegetables in the skillet. Toss well to coat evenly with the creamy Cajun sauce.
Serve warm and enjoy a balanced, flavorful meal.
