Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Whole grain rolls
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
- 1 medium, sliced Avocado
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 piece Jalapeño, finely chopped
Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring both pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. For best results, marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the spread by combining Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and finely chopped jalapeño in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and grill them for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes.
To assemble the sandwich, slice the whole grain rolls in half and toast them lightly, if desired.
Spread a generous amount of the jalapeño yogurt spread on each half of the toasted rolls.
Layer the bottom half of the roll with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, avocado slices, and a grilled chicken breast.
Cap the sandwich with the top half of the roll and serve immediately. Enjoy your sugar-free spicy chicken sandwich!
