Savor the zesty flavors of Cajun-seasoned chicken paired with hearty whole wheat pasta and a vibrant medley of fresh vegetables. This dish balances spicy heat with the natural sweetness of bell peppers and zucchini, creating a satisfying meal that is both nutritious and full of character.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 medium Zucchini
1 small Yellow Onion
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry. Season both sides evenly with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add diced yellow onion, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped zucchini. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with vegetables and toss to combine. Slice the chicken breast and serve on top of the pasta-vegetable mix.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve warm.
