This chicken salad with cucumber and cheese is a quick, high‑protein meal that fits perfectly into a lighter way of eating. Tender baked chicken breast, crunchy fresh cucumber, creamy Greek yogurt and small cubes of cheese come together in one bowl. The salad is satisfying without feeling heavy and works great for lunch, dinner or meal prep. Chill it before serving for even more flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 pcs hard-boiled eggs
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast
- 2 cups cucumber
- 1 cup cheese
- 3/4 cup greek yogurt
- a pinch salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the fresh cucumbers, cut into small cubes.
- Add the hard-boiled eggs, chopped into small cubes.
- Add the baked chicken breast, cut into cubes. You can boil the meat instead of baking it, if you prefer. I baked it with seasonings (salt, black pepper, thyme, and paprika).
- Cut the semi-hard cheese into small cubes and add it to the bowl.
- Add the Greek yogurt and sprinkle a pinch of salt over the salad.
- Gently mix the salad with a spoon. The salad is ready to serve, but you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes for a more intense flavor.
