Grilled Chicken with Cuban Chimichurri

Prep/total time: 20 minutes
Yields: about 1 cup of Chimichurri sauce

Ingredients:
7 garlic cloves, peeled
1 & 1/4 cups packed fresh cilantro leaves, washed
3/4 cup packed fresh parsley, washed
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. coarsely ground pepper
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
2. Tbsp. lime juice
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. fresh grated lime peel
1/4 cup olive oil
grilled chicken

Directions
Place garlic in a food processor, cover and chop.
Add cilantro, parsley, pepper flakes, and pepper; cover and process until finely chopped.
 Add vinegar, lime juice, soy sauce and lime peel. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream.
Season chicken with pepper and garlic powder. Grill chicken.
Pour Chimichurri over chicken and enjoy!
I chopped my chicken and put it on some mixed salad greens, and then used the Chimichurri as a dressing. That was very tasty, but be warned, have breath mints, gum, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc. handy after eating this meal because you will taste it all night :) Luckily it is delicious!
