Lemon-Garlic Spiced Chicken with Fresh Cucumber Salad
Savor a vibrant dish featuring tender, lemon-garlic marinated chicken paired with a refreshing cucumber salad. The chicken is spiced perfectly and seared to lock in moisture and flavor, while the crisp cucumber and tangy lemon dressing add a burst of freshness to every bite.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Chicken Breast
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 half medium Cucumber
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 pinch Black Pepper
1 pinch Salt
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the chicken is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and nicely browned on the outside.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons. Toss the cucumber with a little extra lemon juice and a pinch of salt if desired for extra flavor.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced chicken atop or alongside the fresh cucumber salad.
Enjoy your light yet satisfying meal packed with vibrant flavors and balanced nutrition.
