INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 medium Onion
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and add minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the pan and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with a little bit of warm water from the pasta to create a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh spinach to the pan with the chicken and toss gently to combine.
Pour the yogurt sauce over the pasta and chicken mixture, stirring to coat evenly.
Serve immediately, enjoying the spicy, creamy, and hearty flavors.
