Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Whole grain slider buns
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the skinless chicken breast into 8 equal pieces suitable for sliders.
Toss the chicken pieces in the olive oil mixture until well coated.
Place the chicken pieces on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing the low-fat Greek yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
To assemble the sliders, lay out the whole grain slider buns, and evenly divide the spinach leaves onto the bottom buns.
Place a grilled chicken piece on top of the spinach, then add a slice of tomato.
Spoon a dollop of the yogurt sauce onto the top bun and place it on the slider.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
