Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Savor the vibrant flavors of Cajun-spiced chicken paired with hearty whole wheat pasta and sweet red bell peppers, all enveloped in a light, creamy Greek yogurt sauce. This dish brings a perfect balance of spice and creaminess, making it an ideal, satisfying meal for a warming dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season generously with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still retaining crunch.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, allowing it to warm gently into the pan. Toss to combine the peppers with the creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated with the sauce, and season with extra Cajun seasoning if desired.
Plate the dish and serve warm for a satisfying dinner.
