Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and slice into bite-size pieces. Cut the tomatoes into wedges. Thinly slice half of the red onion, reserving the rest for another use. Roughly chop the olives. Pick the leaves from 1 or 2 stems of oregano and toss the stems.

In a large cast-iron skillet or ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the chicken and sear until golden, about 3 minutes. Flip the chicken and transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the chicken is golden and no longer pink at the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest, 5 minutes. Slice across the grain.
