- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Rub the chicken fillets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the chicken fillets for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the spicy sauce by combining 0.5 cup of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Toast the whole grain buns lightly on the grill for about 1 minute on each side.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of the spicy yogurt sauce on both halves of each bun.
Place a grilled chicken fillet on the bottom half of the bun.
Top each chicken fillet with a lettuce leaf, 1-2 slices of tomato, and a few slices of red onion.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
