Spicy Cajun Chicken with Creamy Whole Wheat Pasta
Enjoy a zesty twist on a classic comfort dish with tender, spiced chicken breast paired with whole wheat pasta in a light, creamy Greek yogurt sauce. The Cajun spices offer a bold flavor punch while the fresh baby spinach adds a pop of color and nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
56 g Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 cup Baby Spinach
PREPARATION
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast with cajun seasoning and minced garlic. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Bring water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil. Sauté the seasoned chicken breast until fully cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Slice the chicken into strips once cooked.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with a tiny splash of water or lemon juice to loosen it up, forming a light creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy yogurt sauce and gently combine with the sliced spicy chicken.
Fold in the baby spinach and allow the residual heat to wilt the greens slightly.
Serve immediately and enjoy this balanced dish that delivers bold Cajun flavors in a nutritious, creamy pasta meal.
