Description

A delicious and vibrant grilled chicken recipe marinated in a fresh chimichurri sauce, perfect for summer BBQs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the chimichurri sauce. Set aside about half of the sauce for serving later.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the remaining chimichurri sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  4. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. Serve the grilled chicken with the reserved chimichurri sauce drizzled on top and lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the chimichurri sauce.
  • Serve the chicken over a bed of mixed greens or with grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
