Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (for chimichurri)
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (for garlic sauce)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: In a bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro, oregano, 4 cloves of minced garlic, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup of olive oil, and salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Reserve half of the chimichurri sauce for serving. Pour the remaining chimichurri over the chicken breasts placed in a shallow dish. Allow to marinate for 20-30 minutes.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Make the Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), 3 cloves of minced garlic, lemon juice, 1 tsp of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble Your Bowls: Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with sliced chicken, reserved chimichurri, halved cherry tomatoes, avocado, and red onion.
  6. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle garlic sauce over assembled bowls and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken overnight if you have time. Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days.
