INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 Garlic Clove
1 cup Spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, pat dry the chicken breast and season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant. Lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to form a light creamy sauce. Incorporate the fresh spinach and let it wilt slightly.
Toss the drained pasta in the sauce until well coated. Plate the pasta, top with sliced Cajun chicken, and drizzle any extra sauce from the pan over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy the spicy, creamy blend of flavors.
