Step 1
Slice the 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips. Peel and mince the 2 tbsp ginger and 3 garlic cloves; slice the 4 scallions into 2-inch pieces.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry until they turn white and are just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the minced ginger, garlic, and half the scallions. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the 2 tbsp chili oil and 1 sliced cucumber. Toss everything together until the cucumber is slightly softened and the sauce coats the chicken, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Serve hot over rice, garnished with the remaining scallions.
