INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast evenly with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy Greek yogurt sauce in the skillet over low heat, stirring gently to coat the pasta evenly.
Serve the pasta topped with sliced Cajun chicken and enjoy your balanced, spicy, and creamy meal.
