Instructions
1

Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.

2

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and have nice grill marks.

3

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the cucumber salad by slicing the cucumbers and mixing them with diced tomatoes and red onion in a large bowl.

4

In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. Pour the dressing over the cucumber salad and toss gently to combine.

5

Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. Serve the sliced chicken on a plate alongside the cucumber salad for a refreshing meal.
