  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped parsley, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour chimichurri marinade over them. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (overnight for best results).
