Creamy Pasta Salad with Chicken
Ready in under 30 minutes and perfect for the park or beach. The basil dressing is what makes it.
Creamy dressing, crunchy broccoli, sweet grapes — this one disappears fast at any gathering. Works just as well for lunch the next day.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water, then let it drain well and tip it into a large bowl.
Pat the chicken fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat a pan with oil over medium heat and fry the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side until nicely coloured. Put a lid on and finish cooking for 6–8 minutes until cooked through. Let it cool, then cut into pieces.
Break the broccoli into small florets — dice the stalk into small pieces and use that too. Halve the grapes and finely chop the red onion.
Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper until you have a smooth dressing.
Add the chicken, broccoli, grapes and red onion to the bowl with the pasta. Pour over the dressing and toss everything together well.
Roughly chop the nuts and scatter them over just before serving.
