INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, drain and set aside.
Pat the chicken breast dry, then season both sides generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
Add the light cream cheese to the skillet and stir until it melts, forming a light, creamy sauce. Season with a pinch more salt and pepper if needed.
Combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything in the creamy Cajun sauce.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
