1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Lower the heat and add the reduced fat cream cheese, stirring to create a creamy base. Mix well to combine with the bell peppers.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta to the skillet, stirring to coat it evenly with the creamy sauce.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and toss everything together until heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy a flavorful, protein-packed meal.
