INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
0.25 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
0.25 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
0.25 cup chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
0.5 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
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.
In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the red bell pepper to the skillet and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables soften slightly.
Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned, approximately 5-6 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, combining well with the vegetables and chicken.
Mix in the cooked whole wheat pasta, ensuring all ingredients are well coated with the sauce. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy spicy Cajun creamy chicken pasta.
