Spicy Cajun Chicken and Veggie Pasta
A zesty and satisfying pasta dish featuring tender, Cajun-seasoned chicken paired with colorful, crisp vegetables and whole wheat pasta. This dish delivers a delightful balance of spice and freshness, ensuring a flavorful meal that's as nutritious as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Zucchini
1/2 tsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, pat the chicken breast dry and season it evenly with Cajun seasoning and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Slice it into bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper and zucchini. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still retaining a slight crunch.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables and toss gently to combine. Return the sliced chicken to the pan and mix in to warm through.
Plate the dish and serve warm, enjoying the vibrant flavors of spicy Cajun seasoning harmonized with fresh veggies and wholesome pasta.
