INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
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.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Reduce the heat to low and add the low-fat cream cheese, stirring until it melts and creates a creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or low-fat milk to adjust the sauce consistency.
Combine the cooked pasta, sautéed bell peppers, and sliced chicken in the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated with the creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, or additional Cajun seasoning as desired before serving.
