This dish combines a vibrant mix of spices and textures to create a meal that's both comforting and energizing.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup chopped Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and minced garlic, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a nice sear.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add the chopped bell peppers and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, mixing until you form a light, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to thin the sauce slightly.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve warm, enjoying a balanced, flavorful meal.
