INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly charred. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the plain Greek yogurt, letting it warm gently without boiling to maintain its creaminess. Adjust seasoning with a pinch more salt and pepper if needed.
Incorporate the cooked pasta and chicken strips into the skillet, tossing well to combine all the flavors. Allow the mixture to heat through for an additional minute.
Plate the dish and enjoy your creamy, spicy, and satisfying Cajun Chicken Pasta.
