INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
1/2 cup Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add diced red bell pepper, spinach, and diced tomatoes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Lower the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Mix thoroughly to combine with the vegetables.
Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss gently to coat everything evenly with the creamy spicy sauce.
Adjust seasonings if needed and serve warm. Enjoy your healthy, flavorful Cajun chicken pasta!
