I'm not a huge fan of thyme, so I used a mixture of parsley and basil in the gremolata. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of gremolata and used it to top grilled chicken, roasted chicken, and even chicken salad. It was delicious every time.
