Chicken with Citrus Chimichurri Sauce image

Chimichurri is a green sauce from South America that goes with grilled meats. My citrus version brightens up grilled chicken, which gets its juiciness from brining. -Tyffanie Perez, Springville, Utah

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was amazing. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.
