INGREDIENTS
150g Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 medium Green Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mince the garlic.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the garlic briefly until fragrant, then add the chicken breast.
Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red and green bell peppers. Sauté until they begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, mixing well with the peppers and garlic residue.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated with the sauce.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, and serve warm.
