Quick & Easy Chimichurri Chicken Recipe

As someone that’s been on more diets than I can count, I can tell you plain grilled chicken gets boring fast. It doesn’t matter what you do, it always ends up dry and in need of a sauce.

So whenever we grill chicken, we always have a sauce for it. And our current favorite is this easy chimichurri sauce.

It’s light, flavorful, with just a tiny bit of acid from the red wine vinegar. This sauce is so good you’ll even want to spread it on your veggies.

Chimichurri all the things!  

Ingredients:

• Chicken
• Cilantro
• Italian Parsley
• Olive Oil
• Red Wine Vinegar
• Garlic
• Red Pepper Flakes
• Salt

Tools:

• Magic Bullet
• Weber iGrill Mini Grilling Thermometer
• Silicone Grill Gloves

Besides this chimichurri sauce, another way to make sure your chicken is juicy is with the Weber iGrill Mini Grilling Thermometer from BBQGuys. This is nothing like your grandma’s meat thermometer.

The iGrill Mini Thermometer is a wireless, Bluetooth meat thermometer. Monitoring meat on the grill has never been easier! 

Place the magnetic sensor on the outside of the grill and insert the probe into your meat. Then, just download the Weber iGrill app and pair the iGrill thermometer with your iPhone. Select your meat type and let the iGrill will monitor the temperature. 

You can track the temperature in the app too if you want. Or, just wait for the app to send a notification when it’s done.

Serve this Chimichurri Chicken with:

• Margaritas
• Mojitos
• White Wine Sangria
