Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic pasta dish combining tender Cajun-spiced chicken, whole wheat penne, and crisp bell peppers in a light, creamy sauce. This dish offers a balance of protein and carbs with a subtle kick of spice, creating a satisfying and flavorful meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it rest for a few minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook until thoroughly browned on both sides and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken, slice it into strips, and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the low-fat cream cheese and a couple of tablespoons of water or chicken broth to create a light, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked whole wheat penne and sliced chicken back to the skillet, tossing everything to combine well and warm through.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
