Remove from pan, and let cool.
Once cool, cut into bite sized pieces. Just make sure you let it cool, or all the juice will run out. (We didn't cut the chicken) - 7
Meanwhile, make cucumber salad by chunking the cucumbers, and tossing in a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano.

I made this by combining ingredients that my partner loves, with cucumbers that he doesn't, and it turned out great.There's nothing much to it. I usually cut up what I have on hand, and add mint, which I take from my planter. Real Greek salads contain garlic, but since I don't like the smell, I make it without.
