Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
- 8 pieces Whole grain slider buns
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 0.5 cup Sliced cucumber
- 0.25 cup Sliced red onion
- 1 cup Arugula leaves
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly coat the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill in a small bowl. Set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks and mix it with the buffalo sauce.
To assemble the sliders, place the bottom halves of the whole grain slider buns on a tray. Add a generous amount of the buffalo chicken mixture on each bun.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the chicken, followed by slices of cucumber and red onion.
Top with a handful of arugula leaves and a dollop of the prepared yogurt sauce.
Place the top halves of the buns over the fillings to complete the sliders.
Serve the Mediterranean Diet Buffalo Chicken Sliders warm, and enjoy!
