Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 cup Hot sauce (low-sodium preferred)
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 12 buns Whole wheat slider buns
• 3 sticks Celery sticks
• 3 sticks Carrot sticks
• 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Cucumber, grated
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried dill
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the low-sodium chicken broth over them.

Step 3

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

Step 4

While the chicken cooks, in a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, hot sauce, white vinegar, and honey.

Step 5

Once the chicken is cooked, shred it using two forks.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the whisked sauce over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken and toss to coat evenly. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

For the yogurt dressing, in a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Toast the whole wheat slider buns lightly in the oven for about 5 minutes for extra texture.

Step 9

Assemble the sliders by placing a portion of the buffalo chicken on the bottom half of each bun, top with yogurt dressing, and finish with celery and carrot sticks for crunch.

Step 10

Add the top bun and serve immediately.
