INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (Dry)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Pinch Red Pepper Flakes
1 Garlic Clove
1 Small Onion
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta in boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and aromatic.
Place the seasoned chicken breast in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, mixing well with the residual pan juices. Add the spinach and let it wilt slightly.
Toss the drained pasta into the skillet, combining it with the creamy sauce and spinach.
Plate the pasta, then top with the sliced spicy Cajun chicken. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve immediately.
