INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1.6 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
0.5 cup sliced Red Bell Pepper
1 cup sliced Zucchini
0.25 medium Red Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown inside.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add the garlic and red onion. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
Combine the cooked pasta and sliced chicken with the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Toss gently to mix all the flavors together.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional Cajun seasoning if desired, then serve warm.
