INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil

1 cup Spinach
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the spinach and let it wilt for about 1 minute.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sautéed vegetables and add the sliced Cajun chicken. Toss everything together until well mixed.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your high-protein spicy Cajun chicken pasta.
