Instructions
- Boil salted water and cook the pasta for 1 minute less than the packet says. Drain, keeping about ½ cup of the pasta water.
- Butterfly the chicken breast and slice it in half. Bash it with a meat tenderiser or flat-based pan to an even thickness.
- Put the chicken in a bowl with the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and put the panko in a second bowl. Dip the chicken in the egg, then press it firmly into the panko.
- Spray both sides of the chicken well with spray oil. Air fry at 200°C (390°F) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, or bake at 220°C (430°F) for 18–20 minutes, until golden and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.
- Heat the milk in a large pan over medium heat until hot but not simmering. Gently stir in the cheddar, mozzarella and low-fat cheese slices until smooth and melted.
- Add the drained pasta and stir until coated in the cheese sauce. Thin with the reserved pasta water if needed, season, and set aside.
- Mix the yogurt and chilli sauce in a bowl and refrigerate until serving.
