Grilled Chicken Breasts With Chimichurri Sauce image

This is from the local paper. I've tried chimichurri sauce once and like it, so I want to try this one. The paper suggests to make the breasts all uniform size for even cooking: pound between sheets of waxed paper with a rolling pin, meat pounder or bottom of a heavy pot. Prep. time does not include marinading time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry. The chimichurri sauce was good, though.
