This Chimichurri Grilled Chicken Bowl brings together the bright, herbaceous flavors of Argentina with satisfying comfort food appeal. Perfectly seasoned chicken breast gets beautifully charred on the grill, then serves as the protein centerpiece over rice that’s been tossed with vibrant chimichurri sauce. Tender-crisp red peppers and broccoli add color and nutrition, while a creamy lemon garlic sauce ties everything together with rich, tangy flavor that makes every bite irresistible.
If you’re drawn to these fresh, herb-forward flavors, you’ll love our Grilled Citrus Chicken with Glaze that offers similar bright, zesty appeal. For another bowl-style favorite with bold seasonings, try the Mediterranean Steak Bowl that delivers the same satisfying combination of protein, grains, and fresh vegetables.

1.5 pounds chicken breast
1/2 cup chimichurri sauce
1 cup cooked rice

1 cup broccoli florets
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent the chicken from sticking during cooking.

- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chimichurri sauce and cooked rice, stirring well to incorporate flavors evenly.
- On a separate pan, sauté sliced red pepper and broccoli florets with olive oil until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice to create a flavorful garlic sauce.
- Slice the grilled chicken into strips and serve over the chimichurri rice with sautéed vegetables.
- Drizzle the prepared garlic sauce generously over the chicken and rice before serving.
