Instructions

  1. Make a batch of Chimichurri using this recipe, in a small bowl or jug.
  2. Pour 4 tablespoons of Chimichurri out into a shallow dish to coat the chicken fillets, and allow to marinade for 20 minutes (if time allows). Refrigerate the reserved untouched marinade to use as a dressing.
