Creating the perfect Chimichurri Chicken is simple. Follow these steps for a flavorful meal:

1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-lock bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the chimichurri sauce over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).
3. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. If grilling, cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear. If baking, place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
5. Serve with Chimichurri: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Drizzle the remaining chimichurri sauce over the chicken for an extra flavor boost.
6. Garnish: If desired, garnish with additional chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice.

By following these simple steps, you’ll create a dish that showcases the incredible flavors of Chimichurri Chicken.
