INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup sliced Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 Garlic Clove
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Slice the red bell pepper into strips, toss with a small drizzle of olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tsp olive oil. Sauté a minced garlic clove until fragrant, then add the seasoned chicken breast. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with a pinch of Cajun seasoning to enhance the creamy sauce flavor.
Combine the pasta, roasted bell peppers, and chicken in a large bowl. Toss with the Greek yogurt sauce until evenly coated.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, creamy, and spicy Cajun chicken pasta dish.
