Enjoy a vibrant, satisfying meal featuring tender Cajun-spiced chicken, whole wheat pasta, and crisp bell peppers all enveloped in a creamy, tangy Greek yogurt sauce. This dish balances bold Cajun flavors with a light, refreshing finish, perfect for a comforting yet health-conscious dinner.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
0.25 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces) and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions, then drain.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and add to the skillet with chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking to soften slightly while retaining crunch.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce. Mix well so that the chicken and bell peppers are evenly coated.
Combine the cooked pasta with the chicken mixture and toss until fully integrated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy a flavorful, well-balanced meal.
