1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons hot sauce
1/2 cup Kraft® mayonnaise
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbs
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
3 cups chicken breast, diced
or shredded
2 large seedless cucumbers sliced into 1-inch pieces, with half of their centers scooped out (15-20 slices)(Tip: Cucumbers can run a little small or big, so be sure to get one at least 15 inches long or 2 smaller ones.)
