Spicy Cajun Chicken and Creamy Pasta
A vibrant dish featuring tender, spicy Cajun-seasoned chicken paired with perfectly cooked whole wheat pasta enveloped in a silky, low-fat cream sauce. This recipe bursts with bold flavor while maintaining a balanced, nourishing profile ideal for any mealtime.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
2 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook until al dente according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides generously with Cajun seasoning.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the chopped red bell pepper, sautéing until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add the low-fat cream cheese to the skillet. Stir to create a creamy sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the chicken.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing well to combine with the sauce and red bell pepper.
Slice the chicken into strips and serve on top or mixed into the pasta. Adjust seasoning with additional Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper as desired.
