Creamy Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta
Enjoy a bold and satisfying dish featuring tender Cajun-spiced chicken paired with whole wheat pasta in a creamy, tangy Greek yogurt sauce. This dish offers a perfect balance of spice and creaminess, accented by sautéed garlic and fresh spinach for added color and nutrients.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Spinach
1 tsp Cajun Spice Blend
2 cloves Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast on both sides with the Cajun spice blend, salt, and pepper.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet, cooking about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
Lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to the skillet, scraping up any flavorful bits left behind, creating a light creamy sauce.
Add the spinach to the sauce, letting it wilt slightly.
Toss in the cooked pasta and sliced chicken, stirring to ensure everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, then serve warm.
