Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Enjoy a flavorful twist on a classic pasta dish with Cajun-spiced chicken, vibrant bell peppers, and a velvety creamy sauce made lighter with nonfat Greek yogurt. This dish balances robust spices with a subtly creamy texture, making it a satisfying meal for any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 ounces Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season evenly with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add thinly sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, then stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Mix well with the sautéed bell peppers.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to combine all ingredients and heat through.
Garnish with sliced chicken and additional seasoning if desired before serving.
