INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 ounce Light Cream Cheese
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly caramelized. Remove from the pan and let rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Lower the heat and add the light cream cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt to the skillet. Stir until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly creamy, scraping any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until evenly coated with the creamy Cajun sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.
