Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients

  • 3 chicken breasts

for the chimichurri sauce:

  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 oz parmesan (optional)
  • 1 chilli pepper
  • seasoning

Instructions

  • Take a skillet and heat it at a high temperature. Be sure that the skillet is well preheated.
  • Fry the meat without oil, as there is a good amount to the marinade. So, place the breasts on the skillet and fry 5-8 minutes on the first side and some 3-5 minutes more on the other side.
  • They should have a nice golden-brown colour
  • Once ready, top some left chimichurri sauce over the chicken breasts.
  • Enjoy!
