2 tbsp Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper, diced
1 Garlic Clove, minced
Cajun Seasoning (to taste)
Salt (to taste)
Black Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, sautéing until fragrant and softened.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Remove the chicken from heat and slice it into strips.
Lower the heat and add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, mixing well.
Toss in the sliced chicken and combine all ingredients thoroughly. Adjust seasonings with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning as desired.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy a balanced, flavorful meal.
