Ingredients

For 4 servings.

  • Pasta 250 g
  • Chicken breast 250 g
  • Bell pepper 1
  • Cucumber 1
  • Yogurt 120 g
  • Olive oil 1 tbsp

What you will need

Large pot for pasta, Colander, Frying pan, Large mixing bowl, Knife and board

Method

  1. 1

    Boil the pasta 11 min

    Bring 2 litres of water to a rolling boil, add salt and the pasta. Stir in the first minute so it does not stick. Cook for the time on the packet.

    Ready when: Pasta is soft but still has a little bite.

  2. 2

    Cook the chicken 12 min

    Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook in the pan with a little oil, 5–6 minutes per side.

    Ready when: Cut the thickest part: white inside, juices clear.

  3. 3

    Cool both 5 min

    Drain the pasta and rinse briefly with cold water. Let the chicken rest. (Warm pasta makes yogurt runny.)

    Ready when: Both are cool to touch.

  4. 4

    Dice 5 min

    Dice the pepper, cucumber and chicken into small bite-size pieces.

    Ready when: Small, even pieces a child can eat easily.

  5. 5

    Toss and pack 3 min

    Mix the yogurt, olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper and lemon. Toss with everything and pack in a sealed box. Keep cool.

    Ready when: Everything lightly coated.
