Ingredients

Chimichurri
1/2 cup
fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup
fresh cilantro
1
shallot, chopped
1
garlic clove, peeled
1/2
red chili pepper, chopped
2 tbsp
oil
2 tbsp
red wine vinegar
1 tsp
dried oregano
Salt to taste
Chicken
6
boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tbsp
oil
Salad
6 cups
romaine lettuce
1 cup
halved cherry tomatoes
1
shallot, thinly sliced
1
avocado, sliced

Directions

To make the chimichurri, in the bowl of a food processor, add the parsley, cilantro, shallot, garlic, red chili, oregano, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Season with salt to taste. Pulse the food processor until everything is well combined. Set half of the chimichurri aside.

Spread the remaining chimichurri over the chicken and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

When ready to cook the chicken, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the chicken in the pan in a single layer. Cook until it is golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook until the remaining side is golden and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Serve the chicken immediately over the romaine lettuce, tomatoes, shallot, and avocado. Top the chicken with the remaining chimichurri.
