Ingredients:
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, weighing 170 g each, cut into small cubes
- 4 bags of green tea with jasmine
- 1/3 cup red onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves

- 1.5 tsp white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp. finely chopped almonds
- 8 slices of rye bread or bread with dried fruits and nuts

Preparation:
- Pour 4 cups of water into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes.
- Remove the tea bags and bring the tea to a boil. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and the chicken. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Drain and transfer the chicken to a small bowl to cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, combine the onion, mayonnaise, yogurt, basil, tarragon, vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the cooled chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Place the chicken on 4 slices of bread, sprinkle with almonds, add salad greens, and top with the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve.
