A bowl of chicken pasta salad

I love chicken, adore pasta, and one of my favourite salad dressings is honey and mustard. So, as you can imagine I LOVE this chicken pasta salad! 

 It's a great way to use up the leftover chicken from your Sunday roast too (take a look at my super simple one pan roast chicken recipe)!

Top tips for making chicken pasta salad


  • Make it vegetarian by using quorn pieces instead of chicken.
  • Up the vegetables by adding sweetcorn, pepper and spring onion to the salad.
  • The salad is great for lunchboxes and will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Some Parmesan shavings grated on top make it extra tasty.
  • Double the recipe to feed a crowd. It's a great salad for BBQ's or parties.

What to serve with chicken pasta salad?


Homemade bread would be a great option for serving with the chicken pasta salad, something like my Pine Nut Soda Bread, made with greek yogurt.

    yummy! normally, when I make chicken salad, I never think of adding pasta - it makes sense, though! Also, the honey mustard idea is a great one, so much more exciting than plain old mayo :D.

    This looks to die for. Not too fattening!

    I agree. Honey and mustard in a dressing make a wonderful combination.
