Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 6 oz each) Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.25 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce (e.g., sriracha or your favorite)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Whole grain sandwich buns
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 4 pieces Pickle slices
- 1 spray (as needed for grilling) Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the chicken marinade. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the non-fat plain Greek yogurt, hot sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade, turning them to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Step 4
Heat a non-stick grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Step 6
While the chicken is cooking, lightly toast the whole grain buns on a separate skillet or toaster for added texture.
Step 7
Assemble the sandwiches. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the grilled chicken breast, two slices of tomato, and two pickle slices. Add the top half of the bun.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat Spicy Chicken Sandwich!
