Savor a vibrant twist on classic pasta featuring tender Cajun-seasoned chicken, a medley of colorful bell peppers, and a light, creamy sauce crafted with nonfat Greek yogurt. This dish is as wholesome as it is delicious, offering a balance of spicy warmth and refreshing crunch in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, mixing well with the peppers and garlic to create a light, creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, coating well with the sauce. Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet and gently mix until combined.
Adjust seasoning as needed with additional Cajun seasoning, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful, balanced dish.
