INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
2 cloves Garlic
0.5 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Prepare all ingredients: dice the bell peppers, mince the garlic, and slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
Season the chicken with Cajun seasoning, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and sauté until they are lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the skillet. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and diced bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
Return the chicken to the skillet and add the low-sodium chicken broth. Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Mix thoroughly to combine all components.
Fold in the cooked whole wheat pasta and warm through for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful and balanced meal.
