    This Grilled Chicken and Cucumber Salad recipe is one of the most delicious, fresh and fast recipes I’ve ever made. I especially love the chicken rub. It’s so tasty. It’s totally AIP but it’s something everyone can love.

    While I love to cook and could spend hours in the kitchen, it’s just not realistic for my family. My adorable toddler becomes not so adorable when he he’s hungry. He’s not a big fan of waiting an hour for food and neither is my husband. The reality of making the AIP diet work for me AND my family is simple meals that can be made quickly. So I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of the 30 Minute Meals for Paleo and AIP ecookbook.

    Grilled Chicken and Cucumber Dill Salad

    I usually like to have all my ingredients prepped in advance before I assemble a recipe. However, to get this Grilled Chicken and Cucumber Dill Salad done in 30 minutes requires some multitasking. You’ll need to chop while you cook but it’s totally manageable and definitely worth it. This chicken and salad combo is delicious. This recipe is allergy friendly (gluten, dairy, shellfish, nut, egg, and soy free) and suits the autoimmune protocol diet (AIP), and paleo diets.

    Notes

    Please note that this recipe is slightly different than my others as you'll need to prep while you cook instead of before. This is also a full meal. It's actually two dishes combined to make a meal.
    If you don’t have a grill, just use a grill pan and cook it indoors. Click here for the Lodge reversible grill/griddle pan that I use.

      This is one of my families favorite recipes. We love it so much that we have to make a triple batch to have enough leftovers to satisfy everyone. The chicken has a delicious blend of flavors with the tarragon adding a summery note. The cucumber salad is refreshing and a perfect blend of crunchy and tangy. Definitely a must make recipe for warm evenings
