Savor a luscious fusion of spicy Cajun-seasoned chicken paired with whole wheat pasta in a light creamy sauce. This dish bursts with vibrant flavors from red bell pepper, spinach, and aromatic onions, creating a perfect balance of zest and comfort for any meal time.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Light Cream Cheese
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Spinach
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 cup Chicken Broth (low sodium)
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning and garlic powder on both sides.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the chopped yellow onion until translucent.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the diced red bell pepper and spinach. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the light cream cheese and chicken broth, allowing the mixture to simmer until the sauce is creamy and slightly thickened.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and combine with the sauce. Toss in the cooked pasta and gently mix until well coated.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving.
