- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Avocado

Directions
Step 1
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper. Pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken breasts, turning them to coat thoroughly. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Slice the tomato and avocado thinly and set aside. Tear lettuce leaves into sandwich-sized pieces.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard and Greek yogurt, stirring until smooth.
Step 6
Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and grill marks appear.
Step 7
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill for 1-2 minutes, cut side down.
Step 8
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the mustard-yogurt mixture on each bun half, layering a piece of lettuce, grilled chicken, tomato slices, avocado slices, and then topping with the other half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve immediately, enjoying your delicious and low sodium grilled chicken sandwich.
