What she’d tell you
The lunch children will actually eat, which is a higher bar than most cookbooks admit. Sweetcorn does a great deal of work here and I have stopped apologising for it.
What you need
Written for 4. Change that in the app and the amounts follow.
Tick things off as you get them ready.

How it goes
Cook the pasta in salted water, drain, and rinse under cold water until cool.
Fry the bacon until properly crisp, then lift it out and cook the chicken in the bacon fat, 6 minutes a side.
Let both cool, then chop the bacon and dice or shred the chicken.
Mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Fold everything together with the sweetcorn and chives.
If you haven’t got it
Bacon
leave it out and add a little smoked paprika to the dressing
Chicken Breast
leftover roast chicken: this is one of the best uses for it
Keeping it
Three days in the fridge.
None. Cold is the point.
