Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic pasta dish, featuring juicy Cajun-spiced chicken, sweet bell peppers, and a velvety, light creamy sauce. This dish perfectly melds smoky spice with creamy texture for a balanced and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
Dash of Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by boiling water for the pasta. Add whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with a dash of Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the seasoned chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese to create a light creamy sauce. Mix well.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet, tossing everything to coat evenly with the sauce and to combine flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with extra Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
