CHIMICHURRI CHICKEN

A few years ago I went on a South American adventure with my cousin Danielle. Our first stop was Buenos Aires. We drank a bottle of Malbec every night with dinner, and dinner was always grilled meats with sides of veggies. I really loved the chimichurri sauce that accompanied each meal. We stopped in a grocery store one day and bought alforjas cookies, dulce de leche, and spices. I found this great chimichurri spice mix there and I mix it with fresh parsley and garlic. I don’t put vinegar in it as I use it for cooking and not just as a condiment.

When my cousin comes over and we want to relive our days in Buenos Aires, we buy a bottle of Malbec and I make this dish with shrimp added to the chicken.

This mix is so versatile. It can be used as a topping for meat, fish, chicken, shrimp, and veggies. I even make omelettes with it. Keep it stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
