INGREDIENTS
150g Chicken Breast
50g Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
100g Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Onion
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast on both sides with the Cajun seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion, sautéing until they become fragrant and softened.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce. Mix well.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, combining with the chicken, bell peppers, and sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional Cajun seasoning, salt, or pepper if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, flavorful meal.
