Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole grain hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Sliced tomatoes
- 8 slices Sliced pickles
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best results.
Preheat a non-stick grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place the chicken on the grill pan.
Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and they are well-browned.
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before assembling the sandwiches.
To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Add a cooked chicken breast, followed by 2 tomato slices and 2 pickle slices.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
