Instructions
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.
