Ingredients
Chimichurri:
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ½ cup parsley finely chopped, fresh
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced
- 2 red chili peppers small, or 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped, about 1 tablespoon finely chopped chili
- ¾ teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ - 1 level teaspoon salt adjust to your tastes, coarse
- ½ teaspoon black pepper adjust to your tastes
Chicken:
- 4 chicken thigh or breasts, skinless, boneless
- 1 pinch salt to season
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavours into the oil before using. (Chimichurri can be prepared and refrigerated for 24 hours before serving.) Makes 1 cup.
- Season chicken with salt, pour 4 tablespoons of Chimichurri out into a shallow dish and coat chicken. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes (if time allows). Reserve untouched marinade to serve later.
- Heat a small amount of oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through (about 5-6 minutes each side). Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
- Spoon remaining chimichurri over each chicken thigh (about 2-3 tablespoons of chimichurri per person), or allow your guests to dip their chicken in a small dip bowl of chimichurri.
