INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Roasted Red Bell Peppers
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss sliced red bell peppers with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a bit of Cajun seasoning, then roast on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the peppers roast, season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the chicken.
Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest, then slice into strips.
Cook the whole wheat pasta in a pot of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
Stir in the Greek yogurt into the warm pasta, creating a light creamy sauce. Add the sliced chicken and roasted bell peppers, then gently toss to combine all the flavors.
Adjust seasoning with a little extra Cajun spice, salt, or pepper as needed. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, balanced meal.
