Chimichurri Chicken doesn't do things by half-measures. It goes all in so you can enjoy big flavors with ease! At its heart is the secret weapon — a homemade chimichurri that's herbaceous, savory, and so fresh, perfect for marinating succulent chicken or accenting tender, fluffy couscous! Served with sharp feta cheese, Chimichurri Chicken makes sure that other grilled chicken dishes pale in comparison!
