Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Enjoy a vibrant twist on classic pasta with tender Cajun-spiced chicken, whole wheat pasta, and sweet, crisp red bell peppers all enveloped in a light, creamy Greek yogurt sauce. This dish balances bold flavors and a satisfying creaminess without weighing you down.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the chicken pieces evenly with the seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and sauté for about 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Add the bell pepper strips to the skillet and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Pour in the chicken broth and lower the heat slightly. Allow it to simmer for a minute to meld the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, mixing well to coat the chicken and peppers.
Combine the cooked pasta with the chicken and sauce, tossing gently until the pasta is evenly coated.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, then serve warm.
