Home-made Bento: Cold Chicken Pasta Salad

Really easy to put together - poach skinless chicken breast in simmering water (flavoured with your choice of herbs and spices) and when almost done, dump in carrots and a head of broccoli to steam till just tender (and mostly still crunchy).
Remove everything from the cooking liquid (now a tasty stock) and chop.
Next, cook wholegrain pasta in the stock you made earlier.
When cool, toss everything together, along with corn kernels, kidney beans, Greek yoghurt, herbs, a few spoonfuls of chicken stock and lots of parsley!
DONE. chill and enjoy!
