INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tablespoons Light Cream Cheese
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F for roasting the bell pepper.
Toss the red bell pepper with a light drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of Cajun seasoning, then place it on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the pepper roasts, season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden on the outside.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the light cream cheese, stirring until it loosens into a creamy sauce. You can add a splash of pasta water for desired consistency.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce, and then slice the chicken breast and serve atop the pasta. Top with roasted bell pepper slices for added sweetness and a burst of color.
