Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Enjoy a vibrant and creamy dish that beautifully melds tender Cajun-seasoned chicken, perfectly al dente whole wheat pasta, and sweet bell peppers. This recipe balances a zesty spice profile with a silky cream sauce for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Half & Half
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions 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. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until thoroughly cooked. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour in the half & half and return the chicken to the skillet. Allow the cream to warm and slightly thicken, stirring to combine the flavors.
Mix in the cooked pasta and toss gently to coat all ingredients with the creamy sauce.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
