INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
0.25 cup Half-and-Half
2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Mixed Vegetables (Bell Pepper & Zucchini)
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 425°F for roasting the vegetables.
Toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, a pinch of Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove and let rest before slicing.
In a separate pot, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and lightly sauté until fragrant. Pour in the half-and-half and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning as needed to create a light, creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce, combine with sliced Cajun chicken, and fold in the roasted vegetables.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavor-packed meal.
