INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Light Cream
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Cajun Spice Mix
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and season generously with Cajun spice mix.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
While the chicken cooks, slice the red and yellow bell peppers into strips.
Once the chicken is almost cooked through, add the bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Pour in the light cream and stir to combine, allowing the sauce to warm and slightly thicken. Adjust seasoning with extra Cajun spice if desired.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, gently mixing to ensure the pasta is well-coated with the creamy Cajun sauce and vegetables.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped green onions if available, ensuring each serving meets your balanced nutritional targets.
