Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Savor the vibrant flavors of Cajun spices infusing tender chicken paired with whole wheat pasta and crisp bell peppers, all enveloped in a light, creamy sauce. This dish offers a harmonious blend of spice and creaminess that's both satisfying and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
0.5 cup Red Bell Pepper slices
0.5 cup Yellow Bell Pepper slices
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
2 Garlic cloves
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Mix until well combined with the peppers.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together to evenly coat with the creamy Cajun sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning if desired. Serve warm.
