Savor a hearty and flavorful dish featuring tender Cajun-spiced chicken tossed with whole wheat pasta and vibrant bell peppers in a light, creamy sauce. This balanced meal brings together the warmth of spices with a creamy finish, offering a delightful twist on a classic pasta dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove chicken and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Lower the heat and stir in the light cream cheese to create a creamy sauce. Mix well until the cream cheese melts and coats the bell peppers.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the sauce and bell peppers.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken, ensuring it’s well incorporated and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning if desired, then serve warm.
