INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup sliced Zucchini
1/2 cup sliced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
Cajun Seasoning to taste
PREPARATION
Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken breast. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Combine the cooked pasta and sautéed vegetables in a serving bowl. Top with sliced Cajun chicken.
Finish with an extra sprinkle of Cajun seasoning if desired and serve warm.
