INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Sliced Red Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 dash Hot Sauce
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked through and nicely browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and stir for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Lower the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt and a dash of hot sauce to create the creamy, spicy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the sauce and red bell pepper. Mix until well coated.
Plate the pasta, top with the sliced Cajun chicken, and garnish with an extra sprinkle of Cajun seasoning if desired. Serve warm.
