  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 avocado, sliced (for garnish)
  • lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and stir until well mixed.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or container and pour marinade over. Ensure the chicken is well coated and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off, and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Cook rice or quinoa following package instructions and set aside.
  6. Slice the grilled chicken into strips. In serving bowls, add a scoop of rice or quinoa, top with chicken slices, and drizzle chimichurri sauce on top.
  7. Garnish with sliced avocado and serve with lemon wedges on the side for added zest.
  8. Provide garlic sauce alongside for guests to use as desired.
