INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season it evenly with Cajun seasoning.
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.
Slice the chicken into strips once it’s cooked through.
In the same pan, add sliced bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender but still vibrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, mixing well with the peppers and any browned bits from the chicken.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy mixture and add the sliced chicken. Toss everything together until all ingredients are well coated.
Serve immediately, garnishing with an extra sprinkle of Cajun seasoning if desired.
