A refreshing and protein-packed chicken salad wrapped in crisp cucumber slices, perfect for a light lunch or healthy snack.
2 large English cucumbers
1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Wash the cucumbers and slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, about 1/8 inch thick. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken breast, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Mix well until creamy.
Add the finely chopped celery, red onion, fresh dill, and fresh parsley to the chicken mixture. Stir to combine.
Season the chicken salad with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Lay 4-5 cucumber slices overlapping lengthwise on a clean surface to form a rectangle large enough to hold the filling.
Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken salad mixture onto one edge of the cucumber rectangle.
Carefully roll the cucumber slices over the filling to form a tight roll. Repeat with the remaining cucumber slices and chicken salad.
Slice each roll in half diagonally and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving.
