Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground chicken
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 8 units whole wheat slider buns
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 unit tomato, sliced
- 0.5 unit red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 slices low-fat cheese slices
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the chicken mixture into 8 equal parts and shape each into a small patty.
Brush the patties lightly with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking on the grill.
Place the patties onto the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of low-fat cheese and close the grill lid, allowing the cheese to melt.
Toast the whole wheat slider buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until they are lightly golden.
Assemble each slider by placing a handful of baby spinach leaves on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked chicken patty with melted cheese.
Add a slice of tomato and a few slices of red onion.
Finish with the top half of the bun and serve the sliders warm.
