Creamy Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta
Enjoy a vibrant, creamy, and spicy twist on classic pasta with tender Cajun-spiced chicken, whole wheat pasta, and a luscious Greek yogurt sauce, accented by fresh spinach and red bell pepper. This dish delivers a satisfying blend of flavors while keeping the macros balanced and bright.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic (minced)
PREPARATION
Start by seasoning the chicken breast with the Cajun seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and lightly browned.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and slice it into thin strips.
In the same pan, toss in the fresh spinach and red bell pepper slices, allowing them to soften slightly.
Lower the heat and stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, mixing thoroughly with the vegetables.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the pan, gently stirring to coat all ingredients in the creamy, spicy sauce.
Adjust seasoning as needed and serve hot.
