INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic (minced)
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast generously with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and slice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the bell pepper slightly softens.
Lower the heat and add the light cream cheese to the vegetables, stirring until a light creamy sauce forms. If needed, add a splash of water to adjust consistency.
Return the chicken to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary before serving.
