INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the whole wheat pasta, and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté until they become slightly tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the light cream cheese, allowing it to melt and combine with a splash of pasta water to form a light, creamy sauce.
Return the chicken to the skillet, then toss in the cooked pasta, mixing well to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
