Southwest Chicken Fajita Pasta
Sautéed chicken and crisp bell peppers tossed with whole wheat pasta in a creamy, zesty salsa sauce that delivers a smoky kick.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
0.5 cup red bell pepper
0.5 cup green bell pepper
0.25 cup red onion
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 cup salsa
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
0.5 tsp chili powder
0.25 tsp cumin
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through.
Add sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet, sautéing until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
Lower the heat and stir in the salsa and Greek yogurt to create a smooth, velvety sauce.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and toss the noodles into the skillet until well coated.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
