The filling for these sandwiches is made from chicken breast mixed with onions, basil, and tarragon, and dressed with a yogurt sauce. The chicken is pre-simmered in jasmine green tea, which imparts a unique flavor that pairs beautifully with the greens. Arrange the chicken salad on slices of bread, top with fresh salad greens, and sprinkle with crunchy flaked almonds. Serve Greek yogurt with raspberry jam in a separate bowl. It makes a wonderful after-chicken dessert, and gourmets can spread it on top of the sandwich for a unique flavor contrast. A refreshing and nutritious apple and avocado smoothie also makes a wonderful accompaniment to the sandwich.
