INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Mixed Vegetables (Bell Pepper, Zucchini, Red Onion)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F for roasting the vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mix evenly over the chicken breast.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes per side until a blackened crust forms. Transfer the chicken to the oven to finish cooking for about 8-10 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and return to the pot.
Mix in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt with the hot pasta until it creates a light, creamy coating. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Slice the blackened chicken and serve over the creamily coated pasta alongside the roasted vegetables. Enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
