Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 250 grams Chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons Whole30-approved mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 leaves Romaine lettuce
Instructions
Start by cooking the chicken breast: place it in a pot covered with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from water and let it cool slightly.
While the chicken is cooking, peel the cucumber and slice it thinly into even, round slices, roughly 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Shred the cooled chicken into small pieces using your fingers or two forks.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the Whole30-approved mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Take one cucumber slice and place about a tablespoon of the chicken mixture on top, spreading it slightly.
Add a small piece of romaine lettuce leaf over the chicken mixture.
Top with another cucumber slice to form a 'sandwich'.
Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber slices and chicken mixture.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to a day for an enhanced, chilled flavor.
