Savor the fusion of zesty Cajun spices and a rich, creamy sauce enveloping tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and crisp bell peppers. This dish delivers a perfect blend of flavors – from smoky spice to velvety cream – creating a satisfying meal that's both delicious and nutritionally balanced.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup diced Bell Peppers
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Begin by boiling a pot of water and cooking the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season it evenly with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the seasoned chicken breast in the skillet and cook for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Once done, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the diced bell peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften, retaining a bit of crunch.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the light cream cheese until it melts into a creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and chicken slices to the skillet, tossing gently to ensure everything is evenly coated with the creamy Cajun sauce.
Serve warm and enjoy your meal that perfectly balances robust Cajun flavors with a creamy, satisfying texture.
