INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Baby Spinach
2 cloves Minced Garlic
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper and baby spinach. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the cooked whole wheat pasta and lower the heat to medium.
Mix in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, gently tossing to combine all ingredients evenly.
Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet and let it heat through for another 1-2 minutes.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning if needed before serving.
