INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup sliced Red Bell Peppers
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook 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.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
Reduce the heat to low and return the sliced chicken to the skillet with the bell peppers. Stir in the cooked pasta.
Add the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, tossing to evenly coat the pasta and chicken. Adjust seasoning with additional Cajun seasoning if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
