  • Chicken spinach & pasta salad

    4x 115g skinless chicken breasts
    1 tbsp grated lime zest
    juice of 2 limes
    1 tsp ground ginger and 1 tsp finely grated garlic
    3 tbsp mild curry powder
    ½ red onion
    200g cherry tomatoes
    110g baby leaf spinach
    400g boiled wholemeal pasta shapes
    2 x 150g pots fat free natural yogurt
    2 tbsp Vanilla Müllerlight Yogurt
    6 tbsp finely chopped mint
    2 tbsp finely chopped coriander
    1 tbsp soy sauce
    Fry Light

    1. Cut the chicken into thin strips and place in a bowl with the lime zest and juice, ground ginger, garlic and curry powder. Toss to mix. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (overnight if possible).

    2. Thinly slice the onion and halve the tomatoes, place in a bowl with the spinach and cooked pasta and mix.

    3. Make the dressing: place the natural yogurt, vanilla yogurt, mint, coriander and soy sauce in a food processor and blend until smooth.

    4. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Heat a non-stick griddle pan sprayed with Fry Light. Add the chicken to the pan (in batches if necessary) and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning once, until cooked through.

    5. Divide the salad between four serving plates, top with the chicken strips and drizzle over the dressing.
