Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Savor the vibrant flavors of Cajun-spiced chicken tucked into a creamy sauce with colorful bell peppers and whole wheat pasta. This dish combines tender chicken, crunchy veggies, and a velvety light cream cheese sauce to create a satisfying and balanced meal that delights both the eyes and palate.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
2 ounces Light Cream Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken and let it rest.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the light cream cheese, allowing it to melt and form a creamy sauce. Mix in the cooked garlic and bell peppers.
Slice the chicken into strips and return to the skillet, coating with the cream sauce. Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine all ingredients well.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun spice if desired, and serve warm.
