Spicy Cajun Chicken with Creamy Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor a bold fusion of spicy and creamy flavors in this dish. Tender chicken breast is elevated with a robust Cajun spice blend and combined with whole wheat pasta tossed in a light, tangy cream sauce accentuated by fresh bell peppers and spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sauté for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, mixing well to create a creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until it is evenly coated with the sauce. Finally, mix in the sliced Cajun chicken.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, flavor-packed dish.
