8 oz/224 g chicken breast
1/2 cup/75 g red grapes, quartered
2 tbsp/14 g toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
2 tbsp/8 g dill, roughly chopped
1/4 cup/25 g finely chopped scallion
1/2 cup/120 g low-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 tsp salt
Several grates of freshly ground black pepper
8 slices multigrain bread
2 cups/40 g arugula
1 cup/116 g thinly sliced radishes

Steps:

To cook the chicken, bring a saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the chicken and simmer for 15 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from water and cool completely. When cool, cut into 1/2-inch/1.3-centimeter dice. Place in a bowl with the grapes, walnuts, dill, scallions, yogurt, salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
To assemble the sandwiches, place 4 slices of bread on a work surface. For each sandwich, top with 1/2 cup/10 grams arugula, 1/2 cup/70 grams chicken salad, 1/4 cup/29 grams sliced radishes and another piece of bread.
You can also try substituting shrimp for the chicken and hazelnuts for the walnuts!
Tina's Tip: Save the cooking water from the chicken. It will be lightly flavored from the chicken and can make a nice base broth for soup. Freeze it!
