Description

This easy chimichurri chicken salad recipe takes just 20 minutes to make. It’s easy, super tasty, packed with flavors and perfect for meal-planning.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHIMICHURRI:
  • ½ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¼ cups Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ½ cups Fresh Parsley
  • ½ cups Fresh Basil Leaves
  • ½ cups Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1  Red Chili, Deseeded
  • Sea Salt And Pepper, To Taste
  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 1 pound Boneless Chicken Breast, Pounded To An Even Thickness
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 3-½ ounces, weight Mixed Salad Leaves
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
  • 1  Large Avocado, Sliced Or Chopped
  • 1 cup Sliced Cucumber
  • 2  Jalapenos, Sliced
  • ½  Red Onion, Sliced
  • 1  Lemon

Preparation

Add all chimichurri ingredients into a food processor. Pulse until finely blended, scraping down the sides several times if needed. Remove and reserve 2–3 tablespoons to use later as a dressing.

Place remaining marinade into a large freezer bag together with chicken and mix well to coat. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes (overnight is best).

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook undisturbed for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink on the inside. Remove chicken to a cutting board and let rest for a couple of minutes, then slice.

Add all salad ingredients into a large bowl. Drizzle remaining chimichurri sauce, squeeze lemon, and toss everything to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
