INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper slices
1/2 cup Zucchini slices
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat dry the chicken breast and evenly coat it with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely browned. Remove and let rest before slicing.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper and zucchini slices. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Mix the cooked pasta with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water from the pasta to loosen the sauce.
Combine the sautéed vegetables with the pasta and gently toss together.
Slice the chicken and serve atop the creamy pasta and vegetable medley. Enjoy this flavorful, balanced meal!
