Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Enjoy a vibrant, creamy pasta dish featuring tender Cajun-seasoned chicken paired with sweet bell peppers. This dish offers a delightful balance of spice and creaminess that elevates classic comfort food while still keeping it light and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Low Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast evenly with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the seasoned chicken breast in the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once cooked, remove from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same pan, add sliced bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they soften but still retain a bit of crunch.
Lower the heat and stir in the low fat cream cheese, allowing it to melt and combine with the bell peppers, creating a light, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta back to the pan, tossing gently to coat in the creamy sauce. Incorporate the sliced chicken into the mixture.
Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dish.
