INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup sliced Bell Peppers
1/4 cup Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and lightly sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reduced fat cream cheese until it melts and combines with the vegetables, creating a creamy sauce.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and toss with the bell peppers and sauce.
Add the cooked pasta into the skillet and gently mix until it is fully coated with the creamy Cajun sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm and enjoy your meal.
