Season the chicken breast on both sides with half the salt, half the black pepper, and all of the dried basil.
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of water to the pan to check heat. Cook the chicken for 6 minutes, flip, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes more until opaque in the center. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, and the remaining salt and pepper in a small bowl.
While the chicken rests for 3 minutes, place the mixed greens, cucumber slices, and red bell pepper in a serving bowl. Slice the rested chicken into strips.
Top the vegetables with the sliced chicken and drizzle the lemon herb dressing over the entire bowl.
