CHIMICHURRI CHICKEN



Chimichurri Chicken image

Green chimichurri, the classic Argentinian sauce often made with fresh herbs, garlic, red-pepper flakes and red-wine vinegar, livens up whatever it's spooned over: steak, chicken, tofu, fish or vegetables. In this simple recipe, boneless chicken gets three layers of zesty chimichurri flavor: First, it's marinated in the sauce. Then, it's sautéed, grilled or roasted, which further intensifies the flavors and encourages caramelization. Finally, just before serving, it's drizzled with fresh chimichurri for a bright finish. You can make the sauce in a food processor, but chopping the aromatics by hand makes it especially fragrant. Keep the extra to serve with the chicken, alongside fluffy white rice, crusty bread or creamy potatoes.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup parsley leaves and stems
1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: On a cutting board, smash and coarsely chop the garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mash the mixture using the side of your knife until a coarse paste forms. Move the paste to the side of the cutting board, then chop the parsley and oregano together with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Combine the garlic paste and the chopped herbs and chop and mash until the herbs are bruised and fragrant.
  • Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the red-pepper flakes, black pepper, vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil; stir to combine. (You should have about 3/4 cup chimichurri. It can be prepared in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.)
  • Make the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. If thickness varies greatly, pound to an even thickness, about 1/2-inch. Rub half the chimichurri all over the chicken and let sit for at least 10 minutes. (You could also refrigerate overnight; just let it come to room temperature before cooking.)
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Wipe off excess marinade from the chicken and cook until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and 4 minutes per side for breasts. (For grilling and oven instructions, see Tips below.)
  • Serve with remaining chimichurri spooned over top.

Time P1DT2h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
2 ½ tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 (3 pound) whole chicken
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
½ cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Combine parsley, 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, oregano, vinegar, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a bowl; mix the chimichurri thoroughly.
  • Place chicken on a cutting board and remove the backbone using kitchen shears. Press down on the breast with the heel of your hand to flatten. Loosen the skin of the chicken carefully and rub the chimichurri underneath, distributing it evenly. Wrap the chicken in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Allow chicken to come to room temperature for no more than 1 hour before baking.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Rub 1 teaspoon olive oil over the chicken; season with salt and pepper. Place onion in a cast-iron skillet. Pour chicken broth over onion. Place seasoned chicken on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Allow chicken to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
