INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, sliced
2 Tbsp Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the sliced red bell peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Return the cooked pasta to the skillet with the bell peppers. Stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, mixing well to coat the pasta evenly.
Slice the chicken breast into strips and place on top of the pasta. Give everything a gentle toss to combine and heat through.
Adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
