Description

Tender, pan-seared chicken is coated in a vibrant, creamy chimichurri sauce and served in warm tortillas with creamy avocado and tangy feta cheese.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to create the creamy chimichurri sauce.
  2. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove the skillet from the heat. Pour the creamy chimichurri sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat the chicken evenly.
  4. To assemble the tacos, fill each warm tortilla with a portion of the creamy chimichurri chicken.
  5. Top the tacos with sliced avocado and a generous sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
