INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (113g)
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (56g dry)
1 medium Bell Pepper (120g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (62g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning (2g)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and sauté until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips, then return it to the skillet with bell peppers.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt until a creamy sauce forms, coating the chicken and peppers. Mix in the cooked pasta to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
