Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole grain sub rolls
- 450 grams Skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Leafy greens (spinach or lettuce)
- 2 pieces Tomato
- 1 piece Cucumber
- 1 piece Avocado
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the chicken breasts with the marinade on both sides.
Cook the chicken on the preheated grill pan for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado thinly. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to create a creamy dressing. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
To assemble, slice the whole-grain sub rolls in half lengthwise and lightly toast them if desired.
Spread the yogurt mustard dressing evenly on the bottom half of each roll.
Layer leafy greens, sliced chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado on top. Cover with the top half of the roll.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Healthy Heroes!
