Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1/3 cup chimichurri sauce
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken and chimichurri sauce. Ensure every piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, but allow it to marinate overnight for maximum flavor enhancement.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high.
- Shake Off Excess Marinade: Remove the chicken from the marinade and give it a gentle shake to lose any excess sauce.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, aiming for an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Let It Rest: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
- Serve It Up: Slice the chicken and drizzle additional chimichurri on top.
Notes
Customize with spices or herbs as desired. Pair with grilled vegetables, quinoa salad, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
