INGREDIENTS

5 oz Chicken Breast

2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)

0.5 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper

0.5 cup sliced Zucchini

2 tbsp Light Half-and-Half

1 tsp Olive Oil

1 tsp Cajun Seasoning

Salt & Black Pepper to taste

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

• 2

  Season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

• 3

  Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest before slicing.

• 4

  In the same skillet, add the chopped red bell pepper and zucchini. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

• 5

  Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the light half-and-half to create a creamy base. Allow it to warm through for a minute, then add the cooked pasta into the skillet, tossing to combine well with the veggies.

• 6

  Slice the rested chicken breast into strips and lay them over the pasta. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

• 7

  Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, spicy Cajun chicken and veggie whole wheat pasta.
