INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
50 g Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
PREPARATION
Begin by bringing a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season it evenly with Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly charred on the edges.
Cut the bell pepper into thin strips and add to the skillet during the last few minutes of the chicken cooking to soften slightly while retaining crunch.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, lower the heat to medium, and stir in the light cream cheese until a creamy sauce forms. Toss in the drained whole wheat pasta to combine evenly with the sauce and vegetables.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy your spicy Cajun chicken pasta dish!
