Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp cumin seeds
2 medium cucumbers (1 1/4 lb)-peeled, seeded , quartered lengthwise and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup roasted cashews , halved lengthwise or coarsely chopped (4 1/2 oz)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
salt and freshly ground pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (6 oz each)

Directions:

In a small skillet, cook the cumin seeds over moderate heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a work surface and let cool, then coarsely chop. In a large bowl, combine the cumin seeds with the cucumbers, cashews, scallions, lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the olive oil and the parsley; season with salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderately low and continue cooking for 3 minutes. Turn and cook the chicken until browned on the other side and just cooked through, about 6 minutes longer. Thickly slice each chicken breast crosswise, mound the cucumber salad on top and serve.
Notes: Variations: Use the cucumber salad as an accompaniment for salmon or bluefish, or mix it with plain yogurt for a version of Indian raita.
