INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and lightly browned.
While the chicken cooks, prepare whole wheat penne pasta according to the package directions until al dente.
Slice the red bell pepper into strips and add to the skillet during the last 2 minutes of the chicken's cooking time to soften slightly while retaining crunch.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and slice into bite-sized pieces.
Lower the heat and stir in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt and grated Parmesan cheese to create a creamy sauce, scraping any browned bits for extra flavor.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, chicken pieces, and bell peppers. Toss gently to ensure everything is well coated.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving.
