INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (cooked)
0.5 cup Red Bell Pepper (chopped)
0.5 cup Zucchini (sliced)
0.25 cup Yellow Onion (sliced)
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with Cajun seasoning on both sides. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken marinates, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice sear. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cooked pasta, mixing well with the vegetables. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Slice the chicken into strips and toss it with the pasta and vegetables, ensuring even distribution of flavor.
Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the spicy kick and fresh crunch of vegetables.
