Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Savor a zesty twist on classic creamy pasta, featuring tender Cajun-spiced chicken juxtaposed with crisp bell peppers and a velvety yogurt-based sauce. This vibrant dish blends warmth from the spices with freshness from the veggies, offering a satisfying and balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt and 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 it evenly with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the pepper softens slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the plain Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Mix well with the sautéed vegetables.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy bell pepper mixture, and then gently fold in the sliced chicken.
Taste and adjust seasoning with extra Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
