Creamy Spicy Chicken and Bell Pepper Pasta
Enjoy a vibrant, creamy pasta dish that balances tender chicken breast with the sweet crunch of bell peppers. Infused with a hint of spice from red pepper flakes and enriched with a light Greek yogurt sauce, this dish offers a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that satisfy without overwhelming.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sauté the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return to the skillet. Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, combining well with the vegetables and chicken. Add the drained pasta and toss everything together over low heat for 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, spicy pasta meal.
