1 Video | Photo: Rachael's Chimichurri Chicken Bites Recipe
This recipe is my take on chimichurri, oil, vinegar, onions and garlic, herbs and spices that serves as both a marinade and a dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 rounded tablespoon sweet paprika
- 3/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, a couple of handfuls
- 3 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
- 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 bay leaves, crumbled
- 1/2 small white onion, coarsely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 3 splashes
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds chicken tenders
Directions
Preheat a grill pan over high heat.
In a food processor combine paprika, parsley, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, onion, garlic and cayenne. Finely chop the mixture by pulsing.
Heat oil in a small pan over medium low heat. When oil is warm, stir herb and garlic mixture into oil and heat 3 to 5 minutes, then remove from heat. The oil will become infused with the flavor of the herbs and garlic. Transfer to a bowl and stir in vinegar and salt. Taste to adjust seasonings.
Cut chicken tenders into thirds and place in a shallow dish. Wash hands.
Spoon half of your chimichurri over the chicken and coat completely and evenly. Using tongs, transfer the bites to the hot grill and cook 2 or 3 minutes on each side. Transfer bites to a serving plate. Serve with party picks and reserved chimichurri sauce for dipping.

I love this recipe, Have given and shared this one with many people as one of my favorite dishes. The sauce is to die for. It's so flavorful. We use the sauce on many other things, like sandwich's, and other meats. Easy, quick and wonderful meal. Thank you so much for this one.

This recipe is awesome! I'm new to cooking because I recently graduated college and haven't had to cook for myself until now. I made this for my family and everyone, even my dad who used to be a chef, loved it! I used chicken thye's instead of breasts but like she says, you can literally put it on any kind of protein, probably even tofu.
