INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Slice the red bell pepper into strips, toss with half the olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet.
Roast the bell pepper in the oven for 15-20 minutes until soft and slightly charred. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the peppers roast, season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
In the meantime, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and return to the pot.
Mix in the light cream cheese into the pasta while still warm to create a light, creamy sauce. Stir in a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips.
Plate the creamy pasta, top with sliced chicken, and then add the roasted bell peppers on top for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
