Method
- Whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Add the chicken breasts, turning to coat completely, and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator or up to overnight for best flavor.
- While the chicken marinates, prepare your chimichurri sauce by combining 3/4 cup parsley, 3 minced garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, remaining 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, and 1/2 cup olive oil in a food processor. Pulse until you achieve a chunky sauce with visible herb pieces. It should look bright green and thick. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lemon juice, remaining 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper for the creamy garlic sauce. Refrigerate while you cook the chicken.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400 to 450°F). Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on a meat thermometer and you see char marks. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Divide the fresh greens between serving bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken, spoon diced tomatoes around the chicken, drizzle generously with chimichurri sauce, and finish with a dollop of the creamy garlic sauce.
Notes
Store all components separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Great for meal prep. Can substitute chicken thighs for juicier results. Add rice or quinoa for a heartier meal. Total time includes 30 minutes minimum marinating time.
