- 1 cup cucumber, diced

Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken slices with olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated to ensure flavorful meat.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the seasoned chicken until fully cooked through and lightly browned, about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.
