Chimichurri Chicken

Ingredients
  

For the Chimichurri Chicken:

To Serve:

  • remaining 1/2 of the batch of the chimichurri sauce or 1 cup chimichurri sauce

Instructions
 

  • Add the chicken to the zipper top bag with 1 cup of chimichurri. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible and squish the bag around to evenly coat the chicken tenders with the chimichurri. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes but up to 2 hours.
  • Pour the remaining sauce into a jar, lid tightly, and leave at room temperature to allow the flavours to meld and marry.

To Cook the Chicken on a Grill Pan:

  • Preheat a grill pan over medium high heat. Spritz with non-stick cooking spray. Use tongs to arrange the chicken tenders in a single layer on the grill pan, taking care not to crowd the pan. Divide the chicken into more than one batch if necessary. Grill the chicken for 5 minutes on the first side. Flip the chicken and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on the second side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, depending on the thickness of your chicken tenders. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 3 minutes before serving with remaining chimichurri sauce on the side.
