Marinate chicken
Slice chicken breast into thin strips and add to the marinade. Mix well to coat all pieces evenly.
Rest in refrigerator
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best flavor).
Prepare vegetables
Dice tomatoes and cucumber, thinly slice red onion, and chop parsley.
Cook chicken
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per batch.
