Ingredients
Steps
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through.
Add the diced peppers and onions to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the Cajun spice and the light cream cheese. Gradually add the reserved pasta water while stirring to create a creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the sauce and chicken mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly and serve.
