Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup Fresh parsley
  • 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
  • 4 Garlic cloves
  • 0.5 cup Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, pulse the parsley, cilantro, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until finely chopped.
  • Transfer the chopped herb mixture to a bowl. Stir in the olive oil and red wine vinegar until well combined. Reserve exactly half of this sauce in a separate bowl for serving.
  • Place the meat in a large bowl or zip-top bag and pour the remaining half of the sauce over it. Toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the meat for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm, topped with the reserved sauce.
