Creating Cold Cucumber Chicken Salad is simple if you follow these easy steps:

2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, wash and chop the cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked chicken, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
4. Make the Dressing: In a smaller bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
5. Mix Together: Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
6. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
7. Serve: After chilling, give the salad a stir, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve it chilled.

These simple steps will guide you to create a delightful dish that everyone will appreciate.
