INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
½ cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Light Cream Cheese
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
½ cup sliced Zucchini
½ cup sliced Red Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Spice Mix
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the sliced zucchini and red bell pepper with olive oil and a pinch of Cajun Spice Mix, then spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the veggies in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Season the chicken breast evenly with the remaining Cajun Spice Mix. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear.
While the chicken and veggies are cooking, prepare the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, mix the light cream cheese with a couple of tablespoons of the hot pasta water until smooth, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese to create a light, creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the cream sauce until well coated.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and serve over the creamy pasta, accompanied by a generous serving of roasted veggies.
