Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
  • Season the chicken breasts generously with Cajun seasoning.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and slice.

  • You can add extra vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for more nutrition.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half of the cream with milk or a dairy-free alternative.
