“Chimichurri sauce originally from Argentina, is a finely chopped mixture of garlic, parsley, oil, and vinegar, usually served with beefsteak. In Mexico, it is made with cilantro and lime juice, and my version contains cilantro, scallions, radishes and Mexican oregano. If chicken tenders are not available, cut up boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe.”
