Savor a delightful medley of tender Cajun-spiced chicken breast, vibrant bell peppers, and whole wheat pasta enveloped in a light, creamy Greek yogurt sauce. This dish strikes a harmonious balance between satisfying protein and refreshing flavors, making it an ideal option for a nourishing dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
2 cloves Garlic
PREPARATION
Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Thinly slice or cube the chicken once cooled.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce, mixing thoroughly with the peppers and garlic.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet, tossing everything together until well combined and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, protein-packed meal.
