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.
