Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic pasta dish with tender Cajun-seasoned chicken, whole wheat pasta, and crisp bell peppers smothered in a light, creamy sauce that delivers bold flavors without compromising your nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1 cup Red Bell Pepper slices
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the bell pepper slices and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but remain crisp.
Stir in the light cream cheese until it melts into a creamy sauce, then add cooked whole wheat pasta and toss to coat evenly.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and gently mix everything together.
Garnish with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately.
