INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning and red pepper flakes, then add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.
Dice the red bell pepper and add to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking to soften slightly.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce, mixing well with the spices and chicken.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring that the sauce evenly coats the pasta and chicken.
Serve immediately, enjoying a balanced mix of creamy texture, spicy kick, and hearty protein.
