Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
- 2 English cucumbers
- 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely diced)
Instructions
Wash the English cucumbers thoroughly under cold water.
Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, creating a hollow boat-like shape. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh dill. Mix until well combined.
Add the cherry tomato halves and finely diced red onion to the chicken mixture. Gently fold until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon, evenly divide the chicken mixture into the hollowed-out cucumber halves, pressing it gently to fill up the space.
Serve immediately as a chilled appetizer or light lunch. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh dill or a sprinkle of black pepper.
