Creamy Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers
Enjoy a vibrant, creamy dish that brings together tender Cajun-spiced chicken, hearty whole wheat pasta, and crisp bell peppers in a light, tangy Greek yogurt sauce for a balanced and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Sliced Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy base, mixing well with the peppers.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the creamy sauce. Slice the chicken into strips and add to the pasta.
Gently mix everything together, adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning if needed, and serve warm.
