INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta, cooked
1 cup Sliced Bell Peppers
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Diced Onion
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast generously with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they become translucent.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a slight char.
In a separate pot, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Add sliced bell peppers to the skillet with the chicken in the last 2 minutes of cooking to soften slightly while retaining crunch.
Reduce heat and stir in plain nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce that coats the chicken and vegetables.
Combine the cooked pasta with the chicken, bell peppers, and creamy sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Adjust seasoning with extra Cajun seasoning if needed, then serve warm.
