Description
A flavorful grilled chicken dish marinated in a vibrant chimichurri sauce made with fresh herbs and garlic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the chimichurri sauce.
- Reserve about 1/4 cup of the chimichurri sauce for serving.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the remaining chimichurri sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve the grilled chicken with the reserved chimichurri sauce drizzled on top.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes to the chimichurri sauce.
- Serve the chicken with grilled vegetables or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
