Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the chicken

If using raw chicken breast, season with salt. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Let cool, then shred or dice. If using rotisserie or pre-cooked chicken, simply shred or dice.

2
Prepare the cucumbers

Wash cucumbers thoroughly. Slice into thin rounds or half-moons. If cucumbers have large seeds, you can scoop them out before slicing.

3
Prepare the herbs and aromatics

Thinly slice green onions. Roughly chop cilantro leaves and tender stems. Remove seeds from chili (for less heat) and finely dice.

4
Make the dressing

Cut lime in half and squeeze to extract juice. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, oil, salt, and sugar until combined.

5
Combine ingredients

In a large bowl, combine cucumber slices, chicken, green onions, and most of the cilantro. Add diced chili according to your heat preference.

6
Dress the salad

Pour dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.

7
Let flavors meld

Let salad sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to combine.

8
Serve

Transfer to a serving dish or individual plates. Garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve immediately.
