Chicken Chimichurri Tacos
Report
These chicken tacos rely on a fresh Chimichurri sauce to shower every bite with an herbaceous vibrancy you’ll instantly love. Plus the vinegar in chimichurri helps tenderize the chicken while it marinates, resulting in a tender and boldly flavored taco dinner.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup Chimichurri (plus additional for serving)
- 12 corn or flour tortillas
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into pieces. Add chicken pieces to a bowl.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the sliced chicken and mix to coat.
- Add the chimichurri to the chicken and mix to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably for 4-6 hours to let the flavors infuse.
- Cook the chicken! I simply pan-fried the chicken pieces until cooked through, which takes around 10 minutes on medium heat. Putting a lid on it speeds up the cooking process.
- Warm up or toast your tortillas to make them more pliable.
- Assemble! Add cooked chicken to tortillas and top with desired garnishes and additional chimichurri sauce.
