INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 medium Bell Pepper
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides for an even coating.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and nicely charred on the edges. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the bell pepper softens and the garlic is fragrant.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the reduced-fat Greek yogurt, mixing it with the sautéed vegetables to create a light, creamy sauce.
Slice the chicken into strips and add it back into the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss together so that the pasta is well-coated with the creamy veggie sauce and the chicken is evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun spice if needed. Serve warm and enjoy the vibrant, spicy, and creamy flavors.
