INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
0.5 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
0.5 cup diced Zucchini
2 tablespoons Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast with the Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until thoroughly cooked and golden on the outside.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a separate pan, lightly sauté the diced red bell pepper and zucchini for 2-3 minutes until just tender to keep their fresh crunch.
Once the chicken is done, slice it into strips. Toss the cooked pasta with the Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce, adding a pinch more Cajun seasoning if desired.
Combine the sautéed veggies and sliced chicken with the pasta. Mix gently to incorporate all flavors.
Plate your dish and serve warm, enjoying the balance of spicy, creamy, and fresh flavors.
