INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz (dry) Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 Tbsp Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned; remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add diced red bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Return the chicken to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce, mixing well to coat all ingredients evenly.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
