Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 0.25 cup Low fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Peri Peri sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Whole wheat sandwich buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 medium Onion (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, Peri Peri sauce, garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or longer if time permits, up to overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and have a nice char. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sandwich ingredients: wash the lettuce, slice the tomato and onion.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Toast the whole wheat buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster for added texture.
Assemble the sandwich by layering each bun with a piece of lettuce, slices of tomato and onion, and then the sliced Peri Peri chicken. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low fat Peri Peri chicken sandwiches while warm.
