Instructions

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium heat (425-450 F). Coat chicken + veggies with avocado oil, garlic, sea salt + pepper and place directly on grill (gives it a smokier flavor).

Step 2

Flip after about 10 minutes (or until veggies + chicken are nicely charred) then cook about 10 more minutes on opposite side.

Step 3

Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165 F. Chicken should be cooked through with juices running clear and veggies fully cooked with a nice char on each side.

Step 4

While chicken and veggies are cooking, add all chimichurri ingredients to a food processor and mix until creamy and well combined. It’s okay if it’s a still a little chunky! You may need to add more water or oil to get it to a thinner consistency, if desired.

Step 5

Top chicken + veggies with the chimichurri sauce. Option to serve over greens such as arugula and sprinkle with chopped nuts + goat cheese.

Step 6

Sauce makes great leftovers and adds flavor to scrambles, salads, tacos, etc.
