Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or bowl. Pour half of the chimichurri sauce over the chicken. Seal or cover, and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- While the chicken is marinating, cook the rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice or quinoa, sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, corn, and avocado.
- Drizzle the remaining chimichurri sauce over the bowls and add a generous dollop of garlic sauce on top.
- Optionally, garnish with extra herbs or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added flavor.
