Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Bone-In Chicken Breasts with Chimichurri Sauce.
Step 1
To create a vibrant chimichurri sauce, start by placing garlic in your food processor and pulse it until it’s finely chopped.
Step 2
Next, add in fresh cilantro, parsley, oregano, and a pinch of salt, pulsing until everything is beautifully minced.
Step 3
With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lime juice, allowing the flavors to meld together for about a minute.
Step 4
Once well combined, transfer your chimichurri to a container, cover it, and pop it in the fridge to let those flavors develop while you prepare the chicken.
Step 5
Now, let’s fire up the grill! Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to keep your chicken from sticking.
Step 6
Take your chicken breasts and rub them generously with the herb rub, making sure every side is coated with those delicious flavors.
Step 7
When the grill is ready, turn the middle burners to low and place the chicken breasts skin-side down over those burners.
Step 8
Close the lid and let them cook for about five minutes, allowing that smoky flavor to infuse.
Step 9
After five minutes, it’s time to flip the chicken.
Step 10
Turn off the middle burners, close the lid again, and let the chicken continue cooking until it’s no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear—this should take around 15 minutes.
Step 11
For the best results, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 12
Once your chicken is perfectly grilled, serve it up with a generous drizzle of that vibrant chimichurri sauce on top.
Step 13
The combination of the juicy chicken and zesty chimichurri is sure to impress your family and friends, making this dish a delightful centerpiece for any meal! Enjoy every bite!.
