INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the chicken with Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add the chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and add it to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender yet crisp.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt and lemon juice, mixing until the sauce is creamy and well combined with the chicken and vegetables.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss gently until all ingredients are coated with the creamy Cajun sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, nutrient-packed meal.
