Spicy Cajun Chicken with Creamy Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor the bold and spicy kick of Cajun-seasoned chicken paired with al dente whole wheat pasta enveloped in a light, creamy Greek yogurt sauce. This dish strikes a harmonious balance between lean protein, hearty whole grains, and a touch of spice for a comforting yet nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the chicken: pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides generously with Cajun seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the outside is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce. Allow the sauce to warm through but not boil.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and toss with the pasta and sauce in the skillet. Mix until all components are well combined and heated through.
Plate the dish and enjoy your spicy, creamy, nutritious meal.
