Healthy Creamy Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta
Enjoy a vibrant, creamy Cajun chicken pasta that's both satisfying and nutritious. Tender, spiced chicken mingles with whole wheat pasta, crisp red bell pepper, and fresh spinach, all enveloped in a light, tangy Greek yogurt sauce with a punch of Cajun spice.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 cup fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Start by simmering water for the pasta. Cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper and fresh spinach. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and add the cooked pasta. Stir in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm and enjoy this healthy, protein-packed dish.
