INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the spice rub: in a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel, then evenly coat it with the spice mixture on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the chicken breast in the skillet.
Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is nicely charred (blackened) and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. In a separate pan, lightly sauté the bell pepper over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
To assemble, plate the cooked whole wheat pasta, top with the sliced blackened chicken, and arrange the sautéed bell pepper strips over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors and satisfying texture of this meal.
