INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole-Wheat Penne Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the whole-wheat penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and lightly sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the plain Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, mixing well with the bell peppers.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the skillet and gently toss to coat evenly with the sauce and seasonings.
Serve warm, adjusting seasoning with extra Cajun seasoning if desired.
