Instructions

  • Place 4 tablespoons of the chimichurri sauce into a zip-loc bag along with the chicken thighs. Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes. Keep the remaining sauce to use as a dressing.
  • Heat the olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes each side until golden and cooked through. Slice the cooked chicken into strips.
  • Divide the lettuce leaves, tomatoes, onion and avocado between 4 bowls. Top each bowl with one chicken thigh and drizzle over with the remaining chimichurri sauce. Garnish with parsley leaves to serve.
