Method
Cucumber Salad
Slice cucumbers and place them in a bowl.
Add chopped green pepper, sliced olives, chopped green onion, and chopped dill to the bowl.
Crumble white cheese over the vegetables.
In a separate measuring cup, combine extra virgin olive oil, red wine, salt, and minced garlic; whisk until cloudy.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable and cheese mixture and toss gently to combine.
Breaded Chicken Cutlet
Season the raw chicken breast with salt and any desired herbs.
Crack eggs into a dish and whisk until smooth.
Dip the seasoned chicken breast into the beaten eggs.
Press the egg‑coated chicken into a mixture of breadcrumbs and dry herbs, coating evenly.
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat.
Fry the breaded chicken cutlet until golden brown on both sides, about 3‑4 minutes per side.
Transfer the fried cutlet to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain excess oil.
Plating
Spoon the cucumber salad onto the fried chicken cutlet.
Garnish with cherry tomatoes if desired and serve.
