INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Light Cream
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let rest.
In the same skillet, add a minced garlic clove and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return to the skillet.
Pour in the light cream and stir, allowing the sauce to heat through and slightly thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Toss in the cooked pasta, mixing well so that every component is coated in the creamy Cajun sauce.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
