Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water and leave to cool completely.
- Toss the chicken with the olive oil, garlic granules, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Fry in a large pan over a medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Leave to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, yoghurt, sun-dried tomato paste, parmesan, oregano, garlic, and lemon juice until smooth. Season well with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it needs loosening up.
- Add the cooled pasta, chicken, cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes and basil to the bowl. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the dressing.
- Dish it up, finish with some fresh basil leaves, and parmesan shavings. Enjoy.
