INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
75 g Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 cup Fresh Spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides generously with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, mixing well with the garlic and spinach.
Add the drained pasta into the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the creamy sauce.
Slice the spiced chicken breast and arrange on top of the pasta. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of spicy, creamy, and fresh flavors.
