INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup sliced Bell Peppers
2 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions 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. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely browned. Remove from the pan and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced bell peppers. Sauté until the peppers are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the low-fat cream cheese, mixing until it melts into a light creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or low-sodium chicken broth to achieve the desired consistency.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together to evenly coat with the sauce and season with additional Cajun seasoning if desired.
Serve immediately, enjoying a flavorful blend of creamy, spicy, and fresh tastes.
