- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh herbs, vegetables, and chicken will make a big difference in the flavor of your pasta salad.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold up well in the salad.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the salad soggy and oily.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
- Add some crunch: Nuts, seeds, or crispy vegetables like celery or bell pepper can add a nice crunch to the salad.
- Make it your own: Feel free to add or substitute ingredients to suit your own taste. For example, you could add some chopped ham or bacon, or use a different type of cheese.
Conclusion:
Curry chicken pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
