INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Begin by boiling water in a medium pot; add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season evenly with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a golden crust.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and both the red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat plain Greek yogurt, mixing thoroughly with the vegetables to create a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together carefully to coat the pasta and chicken evenly with the creamy, Cajun-spiced sauce.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, then serve warm.
