Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 0.25 cup Low fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Peri Peri sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Whole wheat sandwich buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 medium Onion (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, Peri Peri sauce, garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or longer if time permits, up to overnight for best results.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and have a nice char. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 5
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sandwich ingredients: wash the lettuce, slice the tomato and onion.
Step 6
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Step 7
Toast the whole wheat buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster for added texture.
Step 8
Assemble the sandwich by layering each bun with a piece of lettuce, slices of tomato and onion, and then the sliced Peri Peri chicken. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your low fat Peri Peri chicken sandwiches while warm.
