Served on lightly toasted whole wheat sub rolls, this heart-healthy creation is low in sodium yet packed with bold spices like paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Ready in just 30 minutes, this wholesome sandwich is great for lunch or dinner and offers a satisfying option for those seeking a healthier twist on a classic sub.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, prepare the dressing by combining plain Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and chopped dill in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
Slice the rested chicken breasts into thin strips.
Slice the whole wheat sub rolls open and lightly toast them on the grill for about 1 minute, cut side down.
Assemble the sandwiches: spread a generous amount of the dill yogurt dressing inside each sub roll. Layer the lettuce leaves, sliced grilled chicken, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and red onion.
Close the sub rolls, slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately.
