Good for lunch or dinner, this warm-weather pasta salad is a complete meal when served over a bed of lettuce with a side of fresh sliced garden tomatoes and warm garlic breadsticks. I usually add more curry powder than the recipe calls for.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 5 chicken breast halves

  • 1 (8 ounce) package pasta shells

  • 1 cup reduced-calorie mayonnaise

  • 1 cup fat-free plain yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon curry powder, or more to taste

  • ½ (10 ounce) package frozen peas, thawed

  • 4 radishes, sliced

  • 2 green onions, sliced

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook chicken breasts in the boiling water until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Rinse chicken in cold water to cool, cut into small chunks, and refrigerate to cool completely.

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook shell pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain. Rinse pasta with cold water until cool; drain.

  3. Stir mayonnaise, yogurt, and curry powder together in a large bowl. Add cold chicken, cold pasta, peas, radish slices, and green onion slices; stir to combine.

  4. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
