Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
• 8 pieces Whole grain slider buns
• 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
• 0.5 cup Sliced cucumber
• 0.25 cup Sliced red onion
• 1 cup Arugula leaves
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly coat the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.

Step 4

While the chicken is baking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks and mix it with the buffalo sauce.

Step 6

To assemble the sliders, place the bottom halves of the whole grain slider buns on a tray. Add a generous amount of the buffalo chicken mixture on each bun.

Step 7

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the chicken, followed by slices of cucumber and red onion.

Step 8

Top with a handful of arugula leaves and a dollop of the prepared yogurt sauce.

Step 9

Place the top halves of the buns over the fillings to complete the sliders.

Step 10

Serve the Mediterranean Diet Buffalo Chicken Sliders warm, and enjoy!
