Refreshing Chicken & Cucumber Tomato Bowl: Your New Favorite Lunch

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, toss the cubed chicken with 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until well coated.
2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
3. 3

   While chicken cools, prepare the vegetables: dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
4. 4

   In a small bowl or jar, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, dried dill, honey (or maple syrup), a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper until emulsified.
5. 5

   Add the cooked chicken to the bowl with the prepared vegetables. Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetables. Toss gently to combine everything thoroughly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
6. 6

   Serve immediately. For meal prep, store chicken, vegetables, and dressing separately and combine just before eating.
