Ingredients
2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced lengthwise into ribbons
2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
1/3 cup buffalo sauce (alcohol-free)
1/4 cup greek yogurt or light cream cheese
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
Place the cucumber ribbons on paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, greek yogurt, celery, and chives.
Stir the mixture until the chicken is thoroughly coated and evenly combined.
Lay a cucumber ribbon flat on a clean surface.
Place a generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture at one end of the cucumber ribbon.
Starting from the end with the filling, gently roll the cucumber slice up tightly.
Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Repeat the process until all ingredients are used and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a mandoline slicer for perfectly uniform cucumber ribbons. If making ahead, store the chicken mixture and cucumber ribbons separately and assemble just before serving to maintain the crunch.
