Enjoy a vibrant bowl of tender Cajun-spiced chicken paired with whole-wheat pasta, enveloped in a creamy Greek yogurt sauce and tossed with fresh spinach and crisp bell peppers. This dish balances creamy heat with the freshness of greens, making it a satisfying meal for any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.5 cup Whole-Wheat Pasta (cooked)
0.25 cup Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.25 cup Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chicken until it is cooked through and has a golden sear, about 6-7 minutes per side.
While the chicken cooks, prepare whole-wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt with a pinch more Cajun seasoning to infuse extra flavor.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips. In the same skillet, quickly toss in the red bell pepper and fresh spinach for about 2 minutes until just wilted.
Add the cooked pasta and chicken strips back into the skillet. Drizzle with the yogurt sauce and gently toss to combine all flavors.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed and serve immediately.
