Chimichurri Grilled Chicken
Chimichurri Grilled Chicken is as simple as it gets. Boneless and skinless chicken breasts or thighs marinate for only 10 minutes in a cilantro chimichurri sauce and grilled until perfectly cooked. Slice or chop for tacos, fajitas, topping salads or simply enjoy as is. Serves a small crowd or a family with plenty of leftovers in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 recipe cilantro chimichurri sauce (see notes)
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded to 1/2 inch thickness)
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your outdoor grill to 450℉ (or 230℃).

In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with about 1/2 cup of chimichurri. Let the chicken marinate for about 10 minutes.

Once preheated, grill the chicken breasts for 6 to 8 minutes per side, depending on their size, or until fully cooked. Chicken thighs will take a little less time, around 4 to 6 minutes a side (again, depending on size, or until fully cooked).
