INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
0.5 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
0.5 cup White Mushrooms, sliced
1 cup Spinach
0.5 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 teaspoon All-Purpose Flour
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning on both sides. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from the pan and slice into strips.
Within the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, mushrooms, and spinach. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Gradually pour in the low-fat milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, and allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combine the cooked pasta, sliced spicy Cajun chicken, and creamy vegetable sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to mix all ingredients well, letting the flavors meld for another minute.
Serve immediately, enjoying the balance of spicy, creamy, and fresh flavors in every bite.
