INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup sliced Mixed Bell Peppers
1 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
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 on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until golden and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest, then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Lower the heat and add the low-fat cream cheese and unsweetened almond milk to the skillet, stirring until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, ensuring it’s well coated. Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet and mix gently.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning if needed. Serve warm and enjoy.
