INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup sliced Bell Peppers
2 oz Reduced-Fat Cream Cheese
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove minced Garlic
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once cooked, remove the chicken and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the reduced-fat cream cheese until a creamy sauce forms. Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken, mixing gently to combine the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning as desired.
Serve the dish warm, and enjoy your creamy, spicy, and nutritious meal!
