INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 quarter cup Light Half-and-Half
1/2 cup sliced Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides generously with Cajun seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add the sliced red bell pepper and spinach. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
Lower the heat and stir in the light half-and-half to create a creamy sauce; let it heat through gently without boiling.
Slice the chicken into strips and return to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables and sauce.
Fold in the cooked pasta, mixing carefully to evenly coat with the sauce and seasonings.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm.
