Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

Notes
Let the chimichurri sauce rest for at least 10 minutes after blending for best flavor. Customize with different herbs as desired.
