Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Savor a vibrant twist on a classic pasta dish with tender Cajun-spiced chicken, whole wheat pasta, and crisp bell peppers enveloped in a light, creamy sauce. This dish balances a burst of spice with a silky texture and a colorful presentation, making it as delightful to look at as it is to eat.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tablespoons Light Cream
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the seasoned chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and nicely charred. Remove from the pan and let rest before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the light cream, stirring to combine with the peppers. Allow it to simmer for a minute to blend the flavors.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, then serve warm.
