Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dress the salad
Pour dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Let flavors meld
Let salad sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to combine.
Serve
Transfer to a serving dish or individual plates. Garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve immediately.
