Enjoy a vibrant twist on classic comfort with tender, spicy blackened chicken served atop a bed of whole wheat pasta lightly coated in a refreshing, creamy herb sauce.

INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun/Blackened Seasoning
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Basil)
1 tsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat the chicken breast dry and coat evenly with Cajun/Blackened Seasoning.
Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a dark, flavorful crust forms and the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together nonfat Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped fresh herbs until smooth.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy herb sauce until evenly coated.
Slice the blackened chicken and serve it atop the pasta, drizzling any extra sauce over the top if desired.
Enjoy your meal while it's warm!
