Spicy Chicken Spaghetti

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min. YIELD: 2 servings.
“I keep on the lookout for recipes that serve two,” explains LaDonna Reed. “We’re also watching our fat grams, so this main course was a great find. Adjust the spice level by decreasing the Cajun seasoning,” she writes from Ponca City, Oklahoma.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces uncooked spaghetti
  • 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup fat-free half-and-half

Directions

  • 1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with Cajun seasoning. In a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chicken for 7-9 minutes or until lightly browned and chicken is no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
  • 2. In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms, green pepper and onions until almost tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Combine the cornstarch, salt and pepper; sprinkle over vegetables. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Gradually stir in half-and-half. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
  • 3. Return chicken to the pan; heat through. Drain spaghetti; top with chicken mixture.
