Perfect for grilling season, this recipe is simple, fresh, and delicious.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:
In a bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the chimichurri sauce. Reserve half of the chimichurri sauce for serving and use the rest as a marinade. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved chimichurri sauce and serve with your favorite sides like rice, roasted vegetables, or salad.

This dish is vibrant, healthy, and packed with flavor, making it perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
