Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Whole-grain sandwich buns
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 slices Pickle slices
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, mix together the low-fat Greek yogurt, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a spicy marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and gently pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are uniform in thickness (about ¾ inch thick).
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor infusion.
Step 4
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the breasts in the preheated skillet or grill pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
While the chicken cooks, lightly toast the whole-grain sandwich buns in a toaster or on a dry skillet until golden brown.
Step 7
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked chicken breast. Add 2 slices of tomato and 2 slices of pickle on top of each chicken breast, then close with the top bun.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat spicy hot chicken sandwich!
