INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup diced Yellow Onion
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Begin by pounding the chicken breast to an even thickness, then season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely charred.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add the diced onions and chopped red bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, allowing it to gently heat and create a light, creamy sauce that coats the pasta.
Slice the Cajun chicken into strips and gently toss it with the pasta and vegetables.
Adjust seasoning with additional Cajun seasoning if desired, and serve immediately ensuring a delicious balance of spicy and creamy flavors.
