Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup low-sugar BBQ sauce
- 4 pieces whole wheat sandwich buns
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 4 leaves green leaf lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0 olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Spray the chicken breasts lightly with olive oil spray on both sides.
Step 4
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Step 5
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Step 6
Brush the cooked chicken breasts generously with the low-sugar BBQ sauce and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
While the chicken is resting, toast the whole wheat sandwich buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Step 8
In another small bowl, combine the low-fat mayonnaise and dijon mustard to make a spread.
Step 9
Slice the grilled chicken breasts, if desired, for easier assembling of the sandwich.
Step 10
Spread a layer of the mayo-mustard mixture on the cut side of each sandwich bun.
Step 11
On the bottom half of each bun, place one lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, some red onion slices, and the sliced chicken.
Step 12
Top with the other half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy your low-fat BBQ chicken sandwich.
