Description
A delicious and healthy meal featuring grilled chicken, fresh greens, and vibrant chimichurri sauce, perfect for a quick dinner or meal prep.
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. Marinate 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 to make a chunky chimichurri sauce.
- Mix mayonnaise, sour cream (or yogurt), lemon juice, garlic, and herbs to create the garlic sauce. Chill it in the fridge while you prepare the rest.
- Grill the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes on each side until it is charred and cooked through. Let it rest and then slice the chicken.
- Layer fresh greens in a bowl, add the sliced chicken, drizzle with chimichurri, spoon in diced tomatoes, and finish with a generous scoop of garlic sauce.
- Serve immediately or store each component separately for meal prep.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes to the chimichurri sauce. Let the chicken marinate longer for deeper flavors.
