Instructions

1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

2. In a small bowl, combine the parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the chimichurri sauce.

3. Grill the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Allow to cool slightly, then slice or chop the chicken.

4. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced red onion, and grilled chicken.

5. Drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the salad and toss gently to coat.

6. Serve the Chimichurri Chicken Salad immediately, garnished with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

For a creamier dressing, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise to the chimichurri sauce. This salad can also be made with grilled or roasted shrimp or steak instead of chicken.
