Spicy Pan-Seared Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers and Onions
Enjoy a vibrant, spicy twist on classic pasta with tender, seasoned chicken breast, crisp bell peppers, and sweet onions. This dish offers a well-balanced mix of protein and whole grains, enhanced with a kick of red pepper and fragrant garlic, making it a satisfying meal for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 medium Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1 tbsp Fresh Basil (optional)
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chicken and pan-sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and pleasantly golden. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, bell pepper slices, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Add the pre-cooked whole wheat pasta to the skillet, tossing to incorporate the flavors with the vegetables.
Slice the chicken into strips and combine with the pasta and vegetables. Stir gently to mix.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh basil for a burst of herbaceous freshness and adjust seasoning as desired before serving.
