BLT pastasalad with chicken

Ingredients

The salad:

• 250 g pasta penne
• 500 g chicken breast
• 200 g bacon
• 1 tsp red pepper powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 x red onion
• 1 x romaine salad
• ½ x cucumber
• 2 x tomato

The sauce:

• 6 tbsp mayonnaise
• 3 tbsp sour cream
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tsp mustard
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 1 handful parsley

Method

1. Boil the pasta in well-salted water. Rinse it in cold water and strain it.
2. Cut bacon into small pieces and fry on medium-high heat until golden and crispy. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with kitchen paper to remove excess fat.
3. Make cuts in the chicken fillets so that they are a little thinner and easier to cook through. Sprinkle paprika powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper on both sides. Fry the chicken fillets in a little oil in a frying pan on medium to high heat. Fry until they have a nice golden crust on both sides and the chicken is cooked through. When done, let the chicken fillets rest on a plate.
4. Rinse the salad and cut it into slightly coarse pieces. Cut red onion into small pieces - cucumber and tomato into slightly large cubes. Cut the fried chicken fillets into larges cubes.
5. Finely chop parsley and mix it together with the other ingredients for the dressing.
6. Mix the pasta, chicken, bacon and red onion well together with the dressing, before turning in the lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber. You're welcome!
