Ingredients
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
1. 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.
2. In a food processor or bowl, blend parsley, garlic, red pepper flakes, vinegar, olive oil, and salt into a chunky chimichurri sauce.
3. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream (or yogurt), lemon juice, garlic, and herbs to create the garlic sauce. Chill it in the fridge.
4. Grill the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes on each side until charred and cooked through. Let it rest and slice.
5. Layer greens in a bowl, top with sliced chicken, drizzle with chimichurri, spoon diced tomatoes, and finish with a generous scoop of garlic sauce.
6. Serve immediately or store each component separately for meal prep.
Notes
Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
Adjust garlic and lemon in the sauce to your preferred tang and bite.
This recipe is great with a base of rice or quinoa for added heartiness.
