INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Light Cream Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Blackened Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by preparing the chicken: pat dry the chicken breast and season it evenly with the blackened seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a deep, spicy crust forms and the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
Stir in the light cream cheese into the warm pasta until it melts and creates a smooth, creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
Slice the blackened chicken into strips or serve whole on top of the pasta. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the dish for added flavor.
Serve immediately, enjoying the contrast of the spicy, crispy chicken and the creamy pasta.
