Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Savor the delightful blend of tender Cajun-spiced chicken, whole wheat pasta, and vibrant bell peppers enveloped in a light, creamy sauce. This dish balances robust spices and a subtle creaminess for a satisfying meal suitable any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
Cajun Seasoning to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste
Garlic Powder to taste
PREPARATION
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the seasoned chicken until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and add to the skillet with the chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking to soften slightly while retaining crunch.
Lower the heat and stir in the reduced fat cream cheese until it melts and creates a light, creamy sauce, adding a splash of water or chicken broth if needed to achieve desired consistency.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy chicken and bell peppers, mixing well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
