Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Savor a vibrant and flavorful dish where tender Cajun-spiced chicken meets whole wheat pasta and crisp bell peppers, all enveloped in a light, creamy Greek yogurt sauce. This dish balances zesty spices and fresh produce to create a meal that's as nutritious as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it is browned on both sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove the chicken and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the bell peppers are tender but still crisp.
Reduce heat to low and add the nonfat Greek yogurt to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Let it warm through to create a light creamy sauce; do not boil to avoid curdling.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything to coat evenly with the creamy sauce and season further with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, protein-packed meal.
