Ingredients

4 servings

1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup parsley (finely chopped)
3 -4 cloves garlic (chopped or minced)
2 red chillies (small, or 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped, about 1 tablespoon finely chopped chili)
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon coarse salt (leveled)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
4 skinless chicken thigh fillets (no bone, or chicken breasts)
1 teaspoon olive oil
5 cups Romaine lettuce (or cos lettuce leaves, washed and dried)
3 ripe tomatoes (sliced)

Steps

Make a batch of Chimichurri using this recipe, in a small bowl or jug.
Pour 4 tablespoons of Chimichurri out into a shallow dish to coat the chicken fillets, and allow to marinade for 20 minutes (if time allows). Refrigerate the reserved untouched marinade to use as a dressing.
Heat the oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and grill chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
Slice chicken into strips and prepare salad with leaves, tomatoes, onion and avocado slices.
Drizzle with remaining Chimichurri dressing and serve with (optional) extra parsley leaves.
