Instructions

Creating Chimichurri Chicken Bowls with Garlic Sauce is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or container. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off. Grill or cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  4. Prepare Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning according to your preference.
  5. Prepare Rice/Quinoa: Cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions and set aside.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Slice the grilled chicken into strips. In serving bowls, add a scoop of rice or quinoa, top with chicken slices, and drizzle chimichurri sauce over the top.
  7. Garnish: Add sliced avocado and serve with lemon wedges on the side for added zest.
  8. Serve Garlic Sauce: Offer the garlic sauce alongside, allowing guests to use it as desired.
