INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken. Sauté until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes per side.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped red bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still retaining some crunch.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized strips and return it to the skillet with the bell peppers.
In a small bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt with an extra pinch of Cajun seasoning if desired to enhance the flavor. Pour this creamy mixture over the chicken and peppers, stirring gently to coat.
Combine the pasta with the chicken, bell peppers, and creamy sauce. Warm everything through for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld together.
Serve immediately and enjoy the spicy, creamy goodness of your Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers.
