Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
Step 3: Prepare chimichurri sauce by combining 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside.
Step 4: Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and chicken is nicely charred.
Step 5: Transfer chicken to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve topped generously with chimichurri sauce.
