About this Recipe
If you’ve never marinated chicken in Chimichurri before, this recipe will make the case. Chimichurri is a flavorful sauce of herbs and vinegar that originated in Argentina, and it’s typically spooned over grilled meats. Marinating chicken thighs in this herbaceous sauce adds major flavor and it cooks at the press of a button in Brava - so simple and so good. Use the personalization slider to increase the cooking time and temperature if you want a bit of char.
