Enjoy the bold flavors of cajun-spiced chicken paired with a silky, creamy whole wheat pasta and sweet, roasted bell peppers. This dish boasts a delightful blend of spice and creaminess, balanced perfectly with the natural sweetness of roasted peppers.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 ounce Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Greek Yogurt
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the halved red and yellow bell peppers with half the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then arrange them on a baking sheet.
Place the bell peppers in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and slightly charred on the edges.
While the peppers roast, season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving a small splash of pasta water.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt with a little pasta water (if needed) to achieve a creamy consistency. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Combine the cooked pasta with the yogurt sauce, then gently fold in the roasted bell peppers.
Arrange the pasta and roasted peppers on a plate, top with sliced Cajun chicken, and serve immediately.
