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 tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder chimichurri sauce.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken, but this dish changed my mind. The citrus chimichurri sauce was so good that I could have eaten it on its own.
