Ingredients: 1 lb chicken breast, diced; 1 tablespoon sweet curry powder; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided; 4 quarts water (for boiling pasta); 1 teaspoon salt; 1 lb dry pasta; 2 cups snap peas, chopped in half; 1/2 cup minced red onion; 2/3 cup low-fat mayonnaise; 1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard

Servings: persons

1 lb chicken breast, diced
1 tablespoon sweet curry powder
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
4 quarts water (for boiling pasta)
1 teaspoon salt
1 lb dry pasta
2 cups snap peas, chopped in half
1/2 cup minced red onion
2/3 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard

1
Combine curry, oil, and 1 T lemon juice, pour over chicken, toss to coat, cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
2
Heat large nonstick skillet over med heat, add chicken.
3
Cook, stirring regularly, about 3 min (or more). Reduce the heat a bit if the sauce starts to darken.
4
Remove the pan from the heat, let cool while the pasta boils.
5
Boil pasta in salt and water, rinse and set aside. For about the final 2 min of cooking time, add the peas, drain and rinse w/rest of pasta.
6
While pasta cooks, prepare the salad dressing. It is important to have dressing done at same time as pasta, so pasta doesn't sit w/out dressing too long, as it will clump.
7
In a large bowl, blend minced red onion, mayonnaise, mustard and 1 T lemon juice.
8
Add the curried chicken w/all the sauce out of the pan; whisk to blend.
9
Add pasta and peas, toss to coat and add salt if desired.
10
Serve right away or chilled for later. 8-12 servings.
