Season the chicken breast on both sides with half the salt and half the black pepper.
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat with a third of the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes, flip, and cook for 6 minutes more until the center is opaque. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, combine the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a small jar with the remaining salt and pepper. Shake until well combined.
In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens, cucumber, and red bell pepper with the vinaigrette until coated.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice into strips. Mound the salad on a plate and top with the warm chicken slices.
