Grilled Chimichurri Chicken Avocado Salad

This Chimichurri Chicken Avocado Salad deserves a DRUM ROLL… Using authentic Chimichurri as a dressing that doubles as a marinade keeps all of the incredible flavours of chimichurri in this bowl! After making a batch of this Authentic Chimuchurri with my dad and grilling chicken thighs with it, I KNEW a new salad was coming!

Chimuchurri Sauce

With minimal ingredients in the salad itself, the chimichurri is the star of this recipe. Sliced tomatoes and red onion make for a typical Uruguayan or Argentine salad, and with the addition of avocados, this salad will be your main meal and keep you full until you need it to! WHY has it taken me so long to post something from my own culture? I don’t know. But it’s about time I did, and what better way to start than with this salad! To make this salad, you are going to check out this latest Authentic Chimichurri post. Then, you’re going to proceed to make it… (obviously, right)?

Chicken

You’re going to use some of it to coat or marinade your chicken thighs (or breasts). We normally don’t marinade our meats with chimichurri, but for this recipe, I went against our chimichurri rules and did it anyway. It’s ALL about FLAVOUR!

How To Cook Chicken For Chimichurri

Fire up your grills or skillets because it’s THE TIME TO DO IT! Baste your chicken in a little extra chimichurri to keep the flavour profile going, and prepare for a mind-blown type situation. You can also use a hot cast iron skillet.
