Savory Chicken Pasta Salad

A little effort pays off big in a dish that will impress your guests…that is, if you’re willing to share this savory delight!

Marinade:

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Juice of one lemon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1½ cups Plain Mountain High Yoghurt
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salad:

  • 8 ounces dried rotini pasta
  • 1 cup Plain Mountain High Yoghurt
  • ½ cup golden raisins
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped roma tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 

To make the marinade, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the paprika, ginger, coriander, pepper, salt, turmeric, cumin, lemon juice, parsley, and yoghurt. Mix well. Place chicken in a gallon freezer bag with a zippered closure and pour the marinade over it. Squeeze the air out of the bag and seal. Refrigerate in a bowl for 2 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

Remove chicken from marinade and let excess marinade drain off. Grill chicken breasts over direct medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes per side or until juices run clear and meat is cooked throughout. Cool and cut into 1-inch cubes. Chill until dressing is ready.

Next, make the salad: Cook pasta al dente, according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, in a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the yoghurt, raisins, garlic, tomatoes, parsley, honey, turmeric, ginger, coriander, and cayenne pepper.

Drain the pasta and allow to cool slightly. Add the pasta to the yoghurt mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 2 hours prior to serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley.

Makes 4 servings.
