instructions
    1

    Begin by preheating your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

    2

    While that's heating up, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

    3

    Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the grill or skillet, then place the chicken on it.

    4

    Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    5

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad by cutting the cucumber, tomato, and red onion into small pieces.

    6

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, tomato, red onion, and parsley.

    7

    For the dressing, squeeze the juice of the lemon into a small bowl and add the remaining olive oil (2 tablespoons), mixing well.

    8

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.

    9

    Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
