Preparation of Ingredients

Begin by preparing the ingredients. Peel the cucumber (if desired) and cut it in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds to create a hollow center in each half. Next, in a bowl, mix the cream cheese until it's smooth. Shred the chicken (cooked) and the carrot. Then, season this mixture with your choice of spices and herbs to taste.

Stuffing the Cucumber Boats

Carefully stuff the hollowed-out cucumber halves with the cream cheese mixture. Then, evenly distribute the shredded chicken and carrot on top, pressing them gently into the cream cheese to ensure they stay in place. For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding more spices or herbs on top of the filled cucumbers.

Serving

Chill the stuffed cucumber boats in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold as a refreshing and healthy option for lunch, dinner, or as a snack. Optionally, you can garnish with additional herbs for a more visually appealing presentation.
