INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook the seasoned chicken breast in the skillet for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.
Meanwhile, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the nonfat Greek yogurt. Stir to warm it gently, creating a light creamy base. You can add a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta in the creamy sauce until evenly coated.
Slice the chicken breast and serve over the creamy whole wheat pasta.
Garnish with additional cracked black pepper or a light sprinkle of Cajun seasoning if desired.
