Lime Chimichurri Chicken

Lime Chimichurri Chicken

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

Chimichurri anything is a favorite in our house.  Partly because it is fun to say, and partly because it is so dang delicious.  Spicy and tangy and scrumptious, chimichurri adds a little zip to whatever you make with it.  I’ve chimichurried everything from burgers to steak to potato salad, so I’m not sure what took me so long to introduce chimichurri to chicken, but better late than never!

In its pure form. chimichurri is a mixture of parsley and garlic and olive oil.  This version uses all that plus a little bit of lime juice, because lime and chicken are such best friends.  And lime makes things taste like summer.

Whirl all of that together until it makes a paste.  Now take some cut up pieces of chicken (I cut chicken breast halves in half again to make nice pick-up-able quarters) and tuck some of the chimichurri under the skin and spread the rest over the top.  Pop it all in a hot oven for 30 minutes until everything is nice and cooked and crispy.

This is delicious hot, but it also makes a fabulous cold picnic chicken.  Go chimichurri your chicken!

      Hi Ro! I haven’t, mainly because I don’t like mushrooms of any kind (I know! I wish I did!) – but I bet it would work just fine with them. And that splashing baby is now 5 (sniffle!). How time flies!
