INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 oz Light Cream Cheese
1/2 medium Bell Pepper
1/4 medium Onion
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.
In the same skillet, add diced onion and sliced bell pepper. Sauté until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the light cream cheese until it creates a smooth, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet. Mix in the drained pasta, ensuring everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if necessary before serving.
