Spicy Cajun Chicken with Creamy Whole Wheat Pasta
Enjoy a vibrant plate of spicy Cajun chicken paired with a light, creamy whole wheat pasta. The grilled chicken, seasoned with a zesty Cajun spice blend, adds a punch of flavor to the tender pasta tossed in a silky sauce accented by red bell pepper and aromatic garlic.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
PREPARATION
Begin by pounding the chicken breast to an even thickness. Rub the chicken with Cajun seasoning and set aside for a few minutes to marinate.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely charred on the outside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce. Mix in the cooked pasta and toss to combine, warming it gently.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it over the creamy pasta. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra Cajun seasoning if desired.
