Ingredients

Buffalo Grilled Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (you can use store-bought or make your own)
  • cooking oil
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Cucumber Salad

  • 2 cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled (optional)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by marinating the chicken:

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the buffalo sauce over them.
  • Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for more flavor).

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the cucumber salad:

  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped dill.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil.
  • Pour the yogurt dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss everything together.
  • Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
  • If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Serve the buffalo grilled chicken hot with the refreshing cucumber salad on the side.
    You can also serve this dish with some crusty bread or rice if you prefer a heartier meal. Enjoy your buffalo grilled chicken with cucumber salad!
