INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 ounce Light Cream Cheese
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Spice Blend
1 clove Garlic
1 small Onion
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of 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 the Cajun spice blend, salt, and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic in the skillet until fragrant and slightly translucent.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice sear.
Remove the chicken and slice it into strips. In the same skillet, add diced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
Lower the heat and stir in the light cream cheese, allowing it to melt and create a creamy sauce. Add the cooked pasta and mix until everything is evenly coated.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, toss to combine, and heat through for another 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving.
