Description
A delightful dish featuring tender grilled chicken infused with rosemary and a refreshing creamy cucumber salad.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar
- Garlic powder to taste
Instructions
- Marinate & Grill the Chicken: Rub the chicken breast with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear for 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through.
- Slice the Cucumber Thin: Use a mandoline or knife to slice the cucumber into thin rounds for that cool, crisp texture and refreshing bite.

- Plate & Finish: Serve the grilled chicken alongside the cucumber salad.
- Optional Drizzle or Herb Finish: Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil or top with fresh dill for an extra gourmet upgrade.
Notes
Let the chicken rest before slicing to maintain juiciness. For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil and rosemary for several hours.
