INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 medium Red Bell Pepper (quartered)
1/2 cup sliced Zucchini
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper and zucchini slices. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, warming it through without boiling.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet and gently toss to coat all ingredients with the creamy sauce and spices.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
