Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta
Savor a bold blend of Cajun-spiced chicken, whole wheat pasta, and a light creamy Greek yogurt sauce with vibrant red bell pepper. This dish is a perfect balance of tender protein, hearty whole grains, and zesty seasoning for a satisfying meal at any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Penne (cooked)
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Diced Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
1 small Onion
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Dice the small onion and red bell pepper, and mince the garlic.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and garlic until softened.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through; about 5-6 minutes per side depending on thickness.
Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces once rested.
In a separate pot, prepare the whole wheat penne according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Return the chicken and sautéed vegetables to the skillet and add the diced red bell pepper.
Stir in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt, allowing it to warm through and meld with the Cajun flavors, creating a creamy sauce.
Fold in the cooked pasta, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun spice if needed, and serve immediately.
