INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Paprika
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by bringing a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, slice it into strips, and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper slices and sauté briefly until they start to soften, about 2 minutes.
Lower the heat and mix in the light cream cheese, stirring until it creates a smooth, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet, tossing gently to coat everything evenly in the sauce.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt, black pepper, and a pinch more paprika if desired, then serve warm.
