Ingredients
  

  • 2 large english cucumbers
  • 3 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 cup chickpeas, drained & rinsed
  • 1 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1/3 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar, I used white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon mustard

Instructions
 

  • For the shredded chicken: boil your chicken tenders for 8-10 minutes or until it is fully cooked. Then drain, set it aside and let it cool before taking 2 forks to easily shred.
  • Mash the chickpeas in a bowl with a fork.
  • In a large mixing bowl add: shredded chicken, mashed chickpeas, red onion, celery and dried cranberries. Mix until well combined.
  • Now add: mayo, greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and mix again! Add in juice from 1/2 a lemon, vinegar, mustard and mix. Refrigerate until you are ready to fill your cucumber boats.
  • For the cucumber: Cut it into 2 inch boats and then carve out the seeds/middle part. Tip: you can save the scooped out parts for your water or smoothie so you don't waste it!
  • Then fill each piece of cucumber with the chicken and chickpea mix.
  • Then, crush up some almonds to top it with and add a little more salt and pepper!
  • This recipe is absolutely phenomenal!! It is the perfect snack or lunch and it's so easy to meal prep too!
