Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 pieces Whole wheat slider buns
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 8 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 piece Tomato, thinly sliced
• 0.5 piece Cucumber, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

First, prepare the marinade for the chicken. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover them with plastic wrap. Pound the chicken with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Cut each breast into four equal pieces, resulting in eight pieces total.

Step 4

Place the chicken pieces in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and chopped dill. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken pieces on the grill.

Step 7

Grill the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 8

To assemble the sliders, place a piece of grilled chicken on the bottom half of a slider bun. Top with a dollop of the yogurt sauce, a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of cucumber.

Step 9

Place the top half of the bun over the toppings and serve immediately.

Step 10

Enjoy these flavorful and healthy low sodium chicken sliders!
