Healthy Creamy Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta
Enjoy a vibrant fusion of spicy Cajun flavors and creamy texture in this healthy chicken pasta. Tender chicken breast is sautéed with red bell pepper, spinach, and aromatic garlic and onion, then tossed with whole grain pasta and a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt to create a rich sauce that ties the dish together beautifully.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Grain Penne Pasta
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Spinach
1/4 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Dash Cajun Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole grain penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the diced red bell pepper and spinach, and cook until the spinach wilts and the peppers are tender.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, then add the cooked pasta.
Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, ensuring the mixture is heated through without boiling to prevent curdling.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning if needed before serving.
