Cristina Bowerman's lunch recipe takes the humble chicken salad sandwich to a new level. Brining and steaming the chicken ensures the meat is perfectly seasoned and tender, before being mixed with the fresh, crunchy textures of apple, celery, pomegranate seeds and walnuts. Remember that brining the chicken takes an hour, so be sure to begin your preparations in good time.
