INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (chopped)
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the bell peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the light cream cheese until it melts into a light, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together to evenly coat with the sauce and spices.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve immediately.
