This dish boasts a robust flavor profile featuring bold spices that give the chicken its signature char and warmth, complemented by a light, tangy Greek yogurt sauce that's stirred into whole-wheat pasta.

INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole-Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Spice Blend (Paprika, Cayenne, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt, Black Pepper)
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the spice blend ingredients: paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry, then rub both sides evenly with the spice blend.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from pan and let rest.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole-wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt with the warm pasta to create a light, creamy coating. Adjust seasoning if desired with a pinch more of the spice blend.
Slice the blackened chicken into strips and gently fold into or place atop the creamy pasta.
Serve immediately, enjoying the spicy, tangy flavors in every bite.
