INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
1/4 medium Yellow Onion (diced)
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Spice Blend
1 clove Garlic (minced)
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with the Cajun spice blend on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté briefly until aromatic.
Add the chicken breast to the pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Once done, slice the chicken into strips.
In the same pan, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until they begin to soften, then add the spinach and cook until just wilted.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, then toss in the cooked pasta to combine.
Top the pasta with the sliced Cajun chicken, give a gentle toss, and serve warm.
