WEIGHT WATCHERS LUNCHBOX CURRIED CHICKEN PASTA SALAD
This is a very flavourful, flexible recipe. If serving immediately, I add baby plum tomatoes but these can make the dressing thin if it's being stored before serving. If you cannot find korma powder, just use 1tbsp + 1tsp curry powder. I use penne for this recipe- if you are counting propoints, it's probably best to weigh the pasta to 150g as it varies so much by volume. This serves 4 as a smaller lunch portion or 2-3 as a main dinner dish.

Steps:
- Put the yoghurt and mayonnaise in a bowl and stir in the korma and curry powder.
- Cook the pasta.
- Meanwhile, dice the chicken breast meat, red bell pepper, cucumber and tomatoes (if using them). Finely slice the spring onions.
- When the pasta is cooked, drain it thoroughly and pour cold water over it for a few minutes to cool it. Drain it again.
- Add the pasta, chicken and vegetables to the bowl and stir well. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Top with chopped fresh coriander/ cilantro (or if you like coriander as much as I do, mix some in, then sprinkle some more over the top)!
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a combination of white and dark meat chicken.
- Be sure to cook the chicken thoroughly before shredding it.
- If you're using canned chicken, rinse it well before adding it to the salad.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your salad to add flavor and texture.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile.
- Serve the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce or greens for a healthy and refreshing meal.
