Ingredients

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup dry white wine

3 (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves

1 large garlic clove, sliced 1 1/2 cups plain low-fat yogurt 1/4 cup light mayonnaise 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 4 cups cooked tubetti or ditalini (very short tube-shaped pasta) (about 1 1/3 cups uncooked pasta) 1/2 cup chopped celery 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley Preparation Combine the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the chicken is done. Remove the chicken pieces from broth; cool and coarsely chop. Bring broth to a boil over high heat; cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 5 minutes). Cool.

Spoon yogurt onto several layers of heavy-duty paper towels, and spread to 1/2-inch thickness. Cover with additional paper towels, and let stand 5 minutes. Scrape into a bowl using a rubber spatula.

Combine the reduced broth, yogurt, mayonnaise, and next 7 ingredients (mayonnaise through black pepper) in a large bowl. Stir in the chicken, pasta, and the remaining ingredients. Cover and chill thoroughly. Yield
