Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup Hot sauce
- 0.5 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 Whole wheat sandwich rolls
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, sliced
- 0.5 cup Carrot matchsticks
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Butterfly the chicken breast by slicing it horizontally into two even pieces, making it quicker to cook and easier to assemble in the sandwich.
Season the chicken breast pieces with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
Place the chicken on the hot grill pan and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the buffalo sauce by mixing hot sauce and Greek yogurt in a small bowl until well combined.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Toast the whole wheat sandwich rolls lightly, if desired.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread about 1 tablespoon of the buffalo sauce mixture on the bottom half of each roll.
Layer a lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, a few slices of red onion, and a few carrot matchsticks on each roll.
Top with the sliced buffalo chicken and an additional drizzle of buffalo sauce.
Finish assembling the sandwich by placing the top half of the roll on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat Buffalo Chicken Sandwich!
