Purée a classic chimichurri in a food processor for a quick and tasty topping for grilled chicken. This popular South American condiment might remind you of pesto. It's quick to make and contains with mint, parsley, vinegar, oil, water, and salt and pepper. Chimichurri is also fabulous on steak, shrimp, and even some vegetables such as roasted squash. You can use it either as a marinade or just spoon it over the dish. Serve the chicken with a salad of baby arugula tossed with lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
