INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (diced)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Cajun Spice Mix
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast on both sides with the Cajun spice mix.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden then remove from the skillet and let rest.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and diced red bell pepper; sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet along with fresh spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts slightly.
Mix in the low-sodium chicken broth and let it simmer for a minute to meld the flavors.
Reduce the heat and stir in the plain Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Ensure the heat is low to avoid curdling.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss well to combine all ingredients. Adjust seasoning with extra Cajun spice if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dish.
