INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (optional)
PREPARATION
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast.
Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until well-browned and cooked through. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the cooked whole wheat pasta if not already done.
In a small bowl, mix the non-fat Greek yogurt with a pinch more Cajun seasoning if desired to enhance the spicy flavor.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy yogurt sauce, ensuring an even coat.
Plate the pasta, then arrange the sliced chicken breast on top. Garnish with fresh parsley if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich meal.
