Authentic Chimichurri from Uruguay & Argentina is the best accompaniment to any barbecued or grilled meats! Also used to serve as a dressing on salads! Hence, this recipe.

How To Make grilled chimichurri chicken avocado salad

1
Chimichurri: Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavours into the oil before using.

2
Chimichurri can be prepared earlier than needed, and refrigerated for 24 hours, if needed.
3
Salad: Heat the oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and grill chicken thighs on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
4
Slice chicken into strips and prepare salad with leaves, tomatoes, onion and avocado slices. Drizzle with chimichurri dressing and serve with (optional) extra parsley leaves.
