INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup sliced Zucchini
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast evenly with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly charred on the outside.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables, tossing gently to combine all flavors.
Top the pasta with the sliced Cajun-spiced chicken, give a final toss, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
