Begin by preparing the chicken breast. Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and cover it with plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breast to an even thickness of about 1 cm.
In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Coat the chicken breast with the marinade mixture and let it rest for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
Preheat a non-stick grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Once heated, place the marinated chicken breast onto the grill pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the heat and let it rest.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the whole wheat bagels in half and toast them lightly in a toaster or oven.
Wash and dry baby spinach leaves. Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings.
Once the chicken has rested for a couple of minutes, slice it into thin strips.
Assemble the sandwich by placing a layer of baby spinach on the bottom half of each bagel, followed by sliced chicken, tomato slices, and red onion rings. Place the top half of the bagel on each sandwich.
Serve the sandwiches immediately. Enjoy your low-fat savory chicken bagel sandwich!
