Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 1.5 lbs total) chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces slider buns
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 8 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large, sliced tomato
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Pound the chicken breasts slightly to ensure even cooking, then cut each breast into four equal pieces, making a total of eight pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the chicken pieces in the bowl with the marinade. Ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, prepare the sauce by mixing Greek yogurt and dijon mustard in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Place the marinated chicken pieces on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 6 to 7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). This ensures the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
To assemble the sliders, take a slider bun and place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half. Add a piece of grilled chicken and a slice of tomato. Spread some yogurt-mustard sauce on the top half of the bun and place it on top of the slider.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining buns and chicken pieces.
Serve the high-protein grilled chicken sliders immediately while warm, and enjoy your healthy, flavorful meal.
