Spicy Blackened Chicken Pasta
A vibrant dish featuring tender, spicy blackened chicken paired with whole wheat pasta and a medley of roasted bell peppers and cherry tomatoes. The dish is elevated with a homemade blackening spice blend that adds a warm, smoky kick, making it a flavorful yet balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Blackening Spice Mix
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine the blackening spice mix ingredients (paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper) if making from scratch, or use a ready-made blend.
Pat the chicken breast dry and evenly coat with the blackening spice mix.
Heat the olive oil in the skillet and add the seasoned chicken. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions and lightly toss with a pinch of salt.
Dice the red bell pepper and halve the cherry tomatoes. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Combine the pasta, vegetables, and sliced chicken on a plate. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired and serve warm.
