INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Low Fat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sauté for about 5-6 minutes per side, until cooked through and lightly charred.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, allowing it to warm without boiling.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetables and creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Plate the pasta, then top with the sliced Cajun chicken. Serve warm and enjoy the spicy, hearty flavors.
