INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
0.75 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
0.5 cup Roasted Red Bell Peppers
0.25 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss sliced red bell peppers with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until soft and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a teaspoon of olive oil and sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve a splash of pasta water.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with a little reserved pasta water to achieve a creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Combine the pasta with the creamy yogurt sauce, then top with sliced Cajun chicken and roasted red bell peppers.
Serve warm and enjoy a flavorful, nourishing meal.
