Equipment

  • cutting board & chef's knife
  • Apple Corer or Small Spoon
  • Mixing bowl
  • Grill or Grill Pan

Ingredients

  • 3 large Garden Cucumbers
  • 1 pound of chicken salad Grilled and shredded; mixed with 1/3 cup mayo, plus some chopped celery and onion. Tip: Cater the mayo and mix-ins to the exact amount of chicken you use! Grilling the chicken until the internal temp is 165℉ is key. It also adds a smoky flavor dimension that takes this recipe to the next level.
  • 9 whole Cherry tomatoes whole for "cherry" effect

Instructions

  • Grill your chicken breasts until fully cooked and the internal temperature has reached 165℉; shred the meat.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded grilled chicken with 1/3 cup of mayonnaise, along with some finely chopped celery and onion. Mix thoroughly until creamy.
  • Wash your large garden cucumbers and slice them into thick rounds (about 1.5 to 2 inches thick). Use a small spoon or an apple corer to hollow out a shallow well in the center of each slice, making sure not to push all the way through the bottom.
  • Spoon the savory grilled chicken salad generously into each cucumber cup.
  • Top each filled cup with a halved cherry tomato for a pop of color and fresh acidity. Serve immediately and enjoy!
