Enjoy a vibrant dish featuring tender Cajun-seasoned chicken, whole wheat pasta, and crisp bell peppers, all tossed in a light creamy sauce. This dish perfectly balances bold flavor with satisfying texture, making it an exceptional choice for any meal time.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add diced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and toss with the bell peppers.
Stir in the cooked pasta and mix well. Lower the heat and fold in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce that coats the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or extra Cajun seasoning if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, protein-packed meal.
