Step 1
Slice the 2 chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Cook the chicken strips for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (no pink inside). Remove from heat.
Step 3
While chicken cooks, chop the 1 cucumber, 2 tomatoes, 1/2 red onion, and 1 green bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large bowl.
Step 4
Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the salad, add a pinch of salt, and toss to combine. Divide salad between two plates.
Step 5
Top each plate with the cooked chicken. Drizzle with your favorite sauce (like ranch or hot sauce) if desired. Serve immediately.
