Servings: 4 servings

1 large cucumber (thinly shaved into long strips)
1 cooked chicken breast (shredded)
1/4 cup sugar-free teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
1 green onion (chopped)
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Toothpicks (to secure the rolls)

Prep the Cucumber:

Use a vegetable peeler or mandolin to thinly slice the cucumber lengthwise into long, thin strips.

Make the Filling:

In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the sugar-free teriyaki sauce. Make sure the chicken is well coated.

Assemble the Rolls:

Lay out one strip of cucumber.

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on the cucumber strip.

Place a small amount of the teriyaki chicken mixture on one end of the cucumber strip.

Add a few pieces of chopped green onion on top of the chicken for extra flavor.

Roll the cucumber strip tightly into a pinwheel, securing it with a toothpick if needed.

Garnish and Serve:

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls (optional).

Arrange the cucumber rolls on a plate and serve chilled.

For a twist on these low-carb chicken teriyaki cucumber rolls, try using different fillings like smoked salmon, shrimp, or even avocado for added creaminess. You can swap the cream cheese for a dairy-free alternative like mashed avocado or hummus if you're avoiding dairy. To enhance the flavor, add a sprinkle of chili flakes or a drizzle of spicy mayo for a bit of heat. If you don’t have sugar-free teriyaki sauce, you can make your own by mixing soy sauce, a sugar substitute like stevia, and a dash of garlic. For extra crunch, add finely chopped bell peppers or carrots inside the rolls. These versatile rolls can be customized to suit various dietary preferences and taste preferences!
