Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Enjoy a flavorful twist on pasta with tender Cajun-spiced chicken, vibrant bell peppers, and a light creamy sauce made from Greek yogurt and subtle spices. This dish delivers a satisfying balance of protein and carbs with a kick of bold Cajun seasoning.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 ounces Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast evenly with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt, mixing well to create a light creamy sauce with the flavorful pan drippings.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together gently until well combined and heated through.
Adjust seasonings with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
