Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 250 grams Chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons Whole30-approved mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 leaves Romaine lettuce
Directions
Step 1
Start by cooking the chicken breast: place it in a pot covered with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from water and let it cool slightly.
Step 2
While the chicken is cooking, peel the cucumber and slice it thinly into even, round slices, roughly 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Step 3
Shred the cooled chicken into small pieces using your fingers or two forks.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the Whole30-approved mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Step 5
Take one cucumber slice and place about a tablespoon of the chicken mixture on top, spreading it slightly.
Step 6
Add a small piece of romaine lettuce leaf over the chicken mixture.
Step 7
Top with another cucumber slice to form a 'sandwich'.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber slices and chicken mixture.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to a day for an enhanced, chilled flavor.
