Grape and Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Tearoom chicken salad: sweet grapes, toasted pecans. 51g protein.

SERVES4

The chicken salad from a good tearoom: gently poached breast meat, cold juicy grape halves, celery snap and toasted pecans in a tangy dressing that's mostly Greek yogurt. Letting the chicken cool in its poaching liquid is the step that keeps it tender instead of stringy. Toasted whole-wheat bread and butter lettuce keep the sandwich from going soft.
