Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Enjoy a vibrant, creamy Cajun-inspired chicken pasta bursting with colorful bell peppers and a tangy Greek yogurt cream. This dish pairs tender cajun-seasoned chicken with whole wheat pasta for a balanced meal that's both hearty and wholesome.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
1 small Onion
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chopped small onion and minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice sear. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
Return the chicken to the skillet and add the cooked pasta. Stir in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes. Adjust seasoning with extra Cajun spice if desired, then serve warm.
