This refreshing Mediterranean Chicken Salad combines tender grilled chicken breast with crisp cucumber, juicy tomatoes, and hearty white beans, all tossed in a light lemon-herb dressing. The dish is not only flavorful and satisfying but also rich in protein and fiber, making it a wholesome meal option.

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 can (15 oz) white beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried oregano.

4. In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumber, tomatoes, and white beans.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and additional oregano. Pour over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
