Instructions
- 1Wash the Persian cucumbers, trim the ends, and slice them into bite‑sized pieces.

- 8Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice into strips.
- 9Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl and toss everything together gently.
- 10Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or vinegar if needed.
- 11Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra oregano or a drizzle of olive oil.
