Ingredients
- 4 pieces Skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole grain hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Sliced tomatoes
- 8 slices Sliced pickles
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best results.
Step 3
Preheat a non-stick grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place the chicken on the grill pan.
Step 5
Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and they are well-browned.
Step 6
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before assembling the sandwiches.
Step 7
To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Add a cooked chicken breast, followed by 2 tomato slices and 2 pickle slices.
Step 8
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
