INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
0.5 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
0.5 cup chopped Zucchini
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the chopped bell pepper and zucchini with olive oil, a pinch of Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender.
While the vegetables roast, season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Grill or sear the chicken over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side until well-cooked and slightly charred. Once done, let it rest before slicing.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth to create the creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce and toss until evenly coated. Plate the pasta, then top with sliced Cajun chicken and add the roasted vegetables on the side.
Finish with an optional sprinkle of extra Cajun seasoning or fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
