INGREDIENTS
4 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
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely browned. Remove the chicken and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté until the peppers are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the light cream cheese, allowing it to melt into a smooth, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or pasta cooking water to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
Combine the cooked pasta and sliced chicken with the creamy pepper sauce, tossing well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, protein-packed Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers.
