Ingredients
 
 

Chimichurri Sauce

  • ¼ cup parsley chopped
  • 5 tbsp cilantro with stems chopped
  • 1 tbsp oregano leaves chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 red onion finely chopped
  • 1 large or 2 small red chili peppers deseeded and finely chopped
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • ½ cup olive oil

Chicken

  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp sweet paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • For the chimichurri. Chop all the ingredients and combine in a bowl. Stir well and set aside.
  • Season both sides of the chicken fillets with salt, black pepper, sweet paprika, dried oregano and garlic powder. Add 4 tbsp chimichurri and coat the chicken. Let marinate for 15 minutes, if time allows.
  • Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet. Add chicken and cook 5-8 minutes per side or until cooked through. The cooking time depends on the size of your chicken breasts. You can slice larger fillets horizontally lengthwise and reduce the cooking time by half.
  • Serve chicken spooned with 4 tablespoons chimichurri, keep the extra to serve alongside the chicken in a dip bowl. Enjoy with some crusty bread and a salad.
