Ingredients
For the Chimichurri
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ¾ cup parsley flat-leaf, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red chili pepper seeds removed and finely chopped (or substitute ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes)
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
For the Chicken
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 chicken breast boneless, skinless
Instructions
- Combine all of the chimichurri ingredients together in a bowl. Let the chimichurri sit for a few minutes to let the flavors combine.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat. (See note if making stovetop) Combine the cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and the seasoning mix. Grill the chicken breasts for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Spoon the chimichurri sauce over the grilled chicken before serving.
- Serve with extra chimichurri sauce on the side.
Notes
- Storage: Store chimichurri chicken breasts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- You can also make this stovetop. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Cooking times will be the same.
- The chimichurri will keep well covered in the fridge for around 4 to 5 days.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked through before serving. It should register at 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving so that the juices redistribute.
