Creating Grilled Chimichurri Chicken is a simple process when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce:
– In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using).
– Stir in the lemon juice, dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

2. Marinate the Chicken:
– Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish.
– Pour half of the chimichurri sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.
– Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

3. Preheat the Grill:
– Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

4. Grill the Chicken:
– Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
– Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
– Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

5. Rest the Chicken:
– Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices and keeps the chicken tender.

6. Serve with Chimichurri:
– Drizzle the remaining chimichurri sauce over the grilled chicken before serving.
