  1. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breast with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 75°C. Set aside to rest.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked white rice, diced red bell pepper, chopped cucumber, and sliced spring onions.
  4. Slice the rested chicken into thin strips and add it to the bowl with the rice and vegetables.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Pour over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  6. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with extra spring onions if desired.
