INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cream
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with a pinch of Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
Slice the red bell pepper into strips and add them to the skillet during the last 2 minutes of cooking to soften slightly while retaining their crunch.
Lower the heat and stir in the reduced-fat cream along with the remaining Cajun seasoning, letting the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring it is well coated with the creamy sauce and evenly mixed with the chicken and bell peppers.
Plate the dish and enjoy your Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers while warm.
