INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
1 small Onion
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent and fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the light cream cheese until a creamy sauce forms, adding a splash of pasta water if needed for thinning.
Return the chicken to the skillet and mix in the cooked whole wheat pasta, ensuring that everything is evenly coated in the creamy Cajun sauce.
Adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
