- To cook the chicken, bring a saucepan with water to the boil. Add the chicken and simmer for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from water and cool completely. When cool, cut into ½” 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 ½ cup arugula, ½ cup chicken salad, ¼ cup sliced radishes and another piece of bread.
- Tip: 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!
