How to Make Cucumber Boats

Prepare one Minute Butter & Sea Salt Jasmine Rice Cup according to package instructions.
Cut a cucumber in half and scoop out the inside seeds.
In a bowl smash avocado and add in prepared rice, shredded chicken, feta cheese, and scooped out cucumber. Mix to combine.
Carefully skip rice mixture into hollowed out cucumbers and top with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.

Tips For Success

Choose Fresh Cucumbers: Look for firm, fresh cucumbers for the best crunch and flavor.
Drain Excess Moisture: Pat the cucumbers dry after scooping out the seeds to prevent the filling from becoming watery.
Use Warm Rice: Mixing the ingredients while the rice is still warm helps blend the flavors together beautifully.
Make Ahead: Prepare the filling in advance and store it in the fridge for an easy meal prep option.

How to Store Leftover Cucumber Boats

Add a paper towel to the bottom of an airtight container, add cucumber boats, and store in refrigerator for 2-3 days.
