Description
A flavorful and healthy Chimichurri Grilled Chicken Bowl with Garlic Sauce packed with bold flavors and nutrition.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- ¼ cup Red wine vinegar
- ½ cup Olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- ½ cup Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 2 cups Fresh greens (spinach or arugula)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together olive oil, garlic, parsley, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Marinate the chicken breasts in this mixture for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more flavor.
- In a food processor or bowl, blend parsley, garlic, red pepper flakes, vinegar, olive oil, and salt into a chunky chimichurri sauce. Set it aside.
- Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream (or yogurt), lemon juice, garlic, and herbs to create a delicious garlic sauce. Chill it in the fridge.
- Grill the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes on each side until it is charred and cooked through. Let the chicken rest, then slice it into strips.
- Layer the fresh greens in a bowl, top with the sliced chicken, drizzle with chimichurri sauce, spoon over the diced tomatoes, and finish with a generous scoop of the garlic sauce.
- Serve your bowl immediately or store each component separately for meal prep.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Feel free to add more red pepper flakes for heat.
