INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast evenly with Cajun seasoning and a pinch of salt.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté until fragrant.
Place the seasoned chicken breast in the skillet; cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add low-fat cottage cheese. Stir it to combine with any remaining garlic and spices, creating a light, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the creamy sauce.
Plate the pasta, topped with sliced Cajun chicken. Serve hot and enjoy the balance of spicy and creamy flavors.
