Spicy Cajun Chicken with Creamy Whole Wheat Pasta
Enjoy a vibrant blend of spicy Cajun-seasoned chicken tossed with hearty whole wheat pasta enveloped in a creamy, tangy sauce. This dish balances heat from the Cajun spices with the richness of Greek yogurt, delivering a comforting yet energizing meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 Garlic Clove
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until it is thoroughly cooked and has a nice sear on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and lightly sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Lower the heat and add the cooked pasta back into the skillet. Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Thinly slice the Cajun chicken and combine with the pasta, gently stirring to mix the flavors.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
