Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 (6-ounce) boneless and skinless chicken breast halves
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for drizzling
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
3 cloves garlic
1 cup packed fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves or 2 tablespoons dried
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
  • Season the chicken and shrimp with the dried oregano, salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Grill the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes each side until cooked through. Grill the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through.

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the garlic, parsley, oregano, vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Slice the chicken diagonally and arrange on a large serving platter with the shrimp. Drizzle with the chimichurri and sprinkle with the pancetta.

I'm not a huge fan of pancetta, but I really enjoyed it in this dish. It added a nice smokiness and richness.

I found the recipe to be a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much pancetta. Otherwise, it was a great dish!

The chicken and shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the pancetta and chimichurri sauce were delicious.
