INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with Cajun seasoning, ensuring an even coating.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
Add sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for another 2 minutes until slightly tender.
Lower the heat and stir in nonfat Greek yogurt and light cream cheese to create a creamy sauce. Mix until well combined.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta and fresh spinach to the skillet. Toss gently until the spinach wilts and everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm and enjoy your spicy cajun creamy chicken whole wheat pasta.
