Weight Watchers Lunchbox Curried Chicken Pasta Salad image

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.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup virtually fat free plain yogurt (200g)
4 tablespoons lowest fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon korma curry powder
1 teaspoon curry powder (you choose the heat)
1 3/4 cups dry penne pasta (150g)
250 g cooked skinless chicken breasts (about 2 chicken breasts)
1 red bell pepper
1/2 cucumber
1 cup baby plum tomato (optional)
4 spring onions
1 handful fresh coriander (cilantro)

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)!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped grapes or dried cranberries for a little sweetness.
