INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the bell pepper.
Toss the halved red bell pepper slices with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of Cajun seasoning. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the peppers roast, pat the chicken breast dry and rub evenly with Cajun seasoning.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half the olive oil. Cook the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely seared. Remove from heat and allow to rest briefly before slicing.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Mix the warm pasta with nonfat Greek yogurt and lemon juice to create a creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with a pinch more Cajun spice if desired.
Plate the creamy pasta, top with sliced Cajun chicken, and garnish with the roasted red bell peppers.
Serve immediately and enjoy a flavorful, balanced meal.
