- Prepare salad: dice cucumber, tomato and parsley. Put into a bowl, add olive oil, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. This can be made in advance.
- Heat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove chicken from bowl, place on baking sheet and pour a little bit of the marinade on top.

- Remove from oven, allow to rest 2 min, then slice into thin pieces.
