INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and return the sliced chicken to the skillet. Stir in the cooked pasta and add the Greek yogurt, mixing thoroughly to create a creamy sauce.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, protein-packed meal.
