Curry Chicken Pasta Salad requires approximately 3 hours and 35 minutes from start to finish. For $1.53 per serving, you get a main course that serves 6. One serving contains 565 calories, 30g of protein, and 31g of fat. If you have radishes, mayonnaise, yogurt, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the curry powder you could follow this main course with the Curry Ice Cream with Mango and Pistachio as a dessert.

Instructions

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.

fat-free plain yogurt 2

reduced-calorie mayonnaise 227grams

package pasta shells 283grams

Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Asian. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. One wine you could try is Lang & Reed Napa Valley Chenin Blanc. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.
