INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.5 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 oz Light Cream Cheese
0.5 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Paprika
0.5 tsp Cayenne Pepper
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
0.5 tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and coat it evenly with a blend of paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until the chicken is blackened and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt and light cream cheese over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the saucy pasta and top with sliced spicy blackened chicken.
Garnish with fresh parsley and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving.
