Drain and rinse the green lentils that have been soaked overnight to remove gas-producing compounds.
Place the lentils in a small pot with 1 cup of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until they are very soft and tender.
Season the raw chicken breast with half of the sea salt and half of the black pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and cook the chicken for 6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the lentils and chicken cook, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, and the remaining salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Place the raw chopped lettuce and diced cucumber in a serving bowl.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add to the bowl along with the warm, softened lentils.
Drizzle the lemon-oregano vinaigrette over the bowl and toss gently to combine before serving.
