Step 1
Season the 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Step 2
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside has nice char marks. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 3
While the chicken cooks, slice the cucumber into thin rounds and halve the 1 cup cherry tomatoes. Toss with the 2 cups lettuce in a large bowl.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lime, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 0.5 tsp chili flakes to make the dipping sauce.
Step 5
Slice the rested chicken and serve over the salad. Drizzle with the dipping sauce or serve it on the side for dipping.
Step 6
Garnish with extra chili flakes or fresh herbs if you have them.
