Method
Preparation
- In a food processor, combine parsley, oregano, 3–4 garlic cloves, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed — you want texture.
- Place chicken in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour half the chimichurri over it. Reserve the rest as a finishing sauce. Marinate for at least 10 minutes; 30–60 minutes if you have time.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Sear chicken 4–6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
- Whisk Greek yogurt, mayo (optional), minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Add a tablespoon of water if too thick.
Assembly
- Assemble bowls by laying a base of quinoa, rice, or greens. Top with sliced chicken, reserved chimichurri, dollops of garlic sauce, avocado, tomatoes, and red onion.
Notes
Store components separately in the refrigerator for optimal freshness. Avoid over-marinating the chicken.
