Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Savor this vibrant and creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta infused with smoky spices and bright bell peppers. The tender chicken and whole wheat pasta meld perfectly with a light, tangy cream sauce accented with Cajun seasoning for an exciting twist on a comforting classic.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast Fillet
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper, sliced
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and sauté until softened for about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add the light cream cheese to create a creamy sauce. Stir until the cream cheese melts and blends with the pepper juices.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat evenly with the creamy sauce.
Slice the chicken into strips and combine with the pasta and bell peppers. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, protein-packed meal.
