Teriyaki Chicken Cucumber Boats

These cucumber boats are a great low-calorie snack that is crunchy, fresh, and filling. My favorite thing about these cucumber boats with chicken is that the quick recipe comes together in under 5 minutes when using precooked white rice and shredded chicken.

Ingredients Needed:

• Cooked white rice – For filling the cucumbers. You could also use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a low carb option.
• Cooked chicken – For this recipe, I used pre-cooked rotisserie chicken that I cubed up and mixed with teriyaki sauce. This recipe would also work well with canned chicken.
• English cucumber – The long cucumber. Cut in 4, then sliced in half.
• Sriracha sauce – This will give the cucumber boats a nice spicy kick. You can also use hot sauce or any other sauce you like.

How to make:

Step 1: Scoop out the insides – With a small spoon, scoop out the seeds of the cucumber and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2: Fill with rice – About 1-2 tbsp of cooked rice. Press the rice inside the cucumber.

Step 3: Add in chicken – Add about 1 tbsp of cooked chicken on top of the rice, and press down.

Step 4: Add seasonings and sauces– Swirl sriracha sauce on top of the cucumber boats. Serve and enjoy!

I also added some sriracha mayo and everything bagel seasoning but this is optional.

Storage Instructions

I love these chicken cucumber boats as a healthy cold lunch for work! It’s quick to make and can be ready in 5 minutes flat.

Tip: I would also place plastic wrap or aluminum foil on top of these cucumber boats if you are transporting them to work and they might tip and the filling will fall out of the cucumbers.
