INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
2 tbsp Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking 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.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Remove and let rest, then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but still crisp.
Lower the heat and stir in the reduced fat cream cheese. Mix until it begins to melt and form a light, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss gently to combine with the bell peppers and creamy sauce.
Top the pasta with the sliced Cajun chicken and give one final gentle toss to integrate the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
