INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
1/4 cup Onion (sliced)
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
Season the chicken generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sauté until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same pan, add sliced onions, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the light cream cheese until it begins to melt, creating a creamy base, then add the cooked whole wheat pasta into the pan.
Return the chicken to the pan, mixing it well with the creamy pasta and vegetables. Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Allow the dish to heat through for another 2 minutes, ensuring all flavors meld together.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, spicy Cajun chicken with creamy pasta.
