Enjoy a vibrant and satisfying meal featuring tender Cajun-spiced chicken mixed with whole wheat pasta and crisp bell peppers in a luscious, light creamy sauce. This dish delivers a harmonious blend of smoky spice and creamy texture, perfect for a hearty dinner or even a leisurely lunch.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 oz Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the seasoned chicken until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Lower the heat and add the reduced fat cream cheese to the skillet, stirring to combine with the bell peppers. If needed, add a splash of water or a little pasta water to create a light, creamy sauce.
Return the chicken strips to the skillet, adding the cooked pasta as well. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional Cajun spice if desired, and serve warm.
