INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 oz Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken breast, and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until thoroughly cooked and golden.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add chopped garlic and sliced red bell pepper, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return them to the skillet with the vegetables.
Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce that lightly coats the chicken and bell peppers. Adjust seasoning with additional Cajun seasoning if desired.
Finally, toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, mixing well to combine all flavors evenly.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, spicy, and nutritious meal.
