What Makes This Dish So Tasty
Light, fresh, and full of flavor. The cool crunch of cucumber pairs perfectly with tender, savory chicken, making it a great choice for a quick snack or appetizer. It’s easy to prepare and feels refreshing, especially on warm days.

- Cook the chicken thoroughly but avoid overcooking to keep it juicy.

Directions
Slic the cucumber halves lengthwise into thin, long slices—about 1/8 inch thick—using a mandoline or a sharp knife. In a bowl, mix together the chicken, Neufchatel cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, tomato, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt until everything is nicely combined. Lay the cucumber slices flat on your work surface and spoon about two teaspoons of the chicken mixture onto the bottom edge of each slice. Carefully roll the cucumber slices up around the filling and secure each one with a toothpick. Stand the rolls upright on a plate, like little cups, and gently push a Pretzel Crisp halfway into the chicken filling to finish.
Perfect Pairings
Serve these bites with a dipping sauce like tzatziki or a light yogurt-based dressing. They also go well alongside a fresh green salad or some pita bread for a complete light meal.
Keeping It Fresh
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within 1-2 days to keep the cucumbers crisp and the chicken fresh. Avoid freezing, as cucumbers tend to become watery when thawed.
