Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
A vibrant, creamy pasta dish featuring tender Cajun-spiced chicken, al dente whole wheat pasta, and crisp bell peppers. This dish delivers a robust balance of spice and creaminess that awakens your palate, making it a satisfying meal for lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
2 oz Lowfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, lightly season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the skillet and slice into bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet, add the chopped red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the lowfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Mix well to combine with the bell peppers.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the creamy Cajun sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper if needed.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, balanced meal.
