Preheat a grill on high, if using.

In a medium saucepan, combine rice, 1¼ cups water, and ½ teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 17 minutes. Keep covered until ready to serve.

Meanwhile, finely chop 2 teaspoons garlic. Finely grate all of the lime zest, then cut lime into wedges. Peel and finely chop 2 teaspoons ginger. Pick cilantro leaves from stems; reserve whole leaves for step 6 and finely chop stems.

In a medium bowl, stir to combine all of the garam masala, chopped ginger, half of the Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1 teaspoon of the chopped garlic.

Pat chicken dry and season all over with salt and pepper; add to bowl with yogurt marinade and toss to combine. Set chicken aside to marinate until step 5.

In a medium bowl, stir to combine cucumbers, chopped cilantro stems, remaining yogurt and chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon water, and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set cucumber salad aside until step 6.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high, if using.

Remove any excess marinade from chicken, then transfer to grill or grill pan.

Cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest.

Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in lime zest.

Slice chicken into strips and serve over rice, with cucumber salad alongside.

Garnish with reserved whole cilantro leaves and lime wedges for squeezing over, if desired. Enjoy!
