Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 pieces whole grain sub rolls
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 small red onion
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Ensure the chicken is well coated and marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, prepare the toppings: slice the tomato and red onion thinly, and slice the avocado.
In another bowl, mix low-fat Greek yogurt, mustard, and honey to create a light and creamy sauce.
Once the grill is hot, place the chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is grilling, lightly toast the whole grain sub rolls on the grill.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Assemble each sub: Spread a generous layer of the yogurt sauce on the inside of each roll.
Layer with mixed greens, sliced chicken, tomato slices, avocado, and red onion.
Top with the other half of the roll, slice in half, and serve immediately.
