Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta Skillet
Sautéed chicken breast and crisp bell peppers are tossed with chickpea pasta in a velvety, spiced Cajun yogurt sauce that delivers a satisfying, smoky heat.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 oz chickpea penne
0.5 tbsp olive oil
0.5 cup red bell pepper
0.5 cup yellow onion
0.25 cup Greek yogurt
0.25 cup chicken broth
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the chickpea penne according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with half of the Cajun seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and add the sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the chicken broth, Greek yogurt, and the remaining Cajun seasoning to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Fold the cooked pasta and seared chicken back into the skillet, tossing gently until every piece is thoroughly coated in the spicy sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.
