Instructions

Step 1: If you're starting with raw chicken, season your chicken breasts with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Grill or pan-cook them over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Allow them to cool slightly before shredding.

Step 2: While your chicken is cooking, chop the fresh basil, cucumber, red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Step 4: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped vegetables, and fresh basil. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is beautifully coated.

Step 5: Your Lemon Basil Chicken Salad is now ready to be served! This salad can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the fridge for up to three days.
