Crispy Pan-Seared Chicken Sandwich
Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with smoked paprika on a toasted whole wheat bun with a zesty yogurt spread and crisp, refreshing lettuce.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 whole whole wheat bun
2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 leaf romaine lettuce
2 slices tomato
PREPARATION
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound with a mallet to an even half-inch thickness.
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breast.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, whisk together the Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard in a small ramekin.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 3 minutes; meanwhile, lightly toast the bun in the same skillet to soak up the remaining flavor.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading the yogurt sauce on both halves of the bun, then layering the lettuce, tomato, and the seared chicken.
