Directions

  1. 1
    Put all the chimichurri ingredients into a blender or food processor. Season with salt and black pepper. Pulse until combined, adding more olive oil, if needed, to reach desired consistency. 
  2. 2
    Put the chicken thighs into a plastic zipper bag or shallow dish.
  3. 3
    Add 3/4 cup of the chimichurri sauce (reserve the remaining for serving) and toss to coat the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  4. 4
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. While the oven heats up, heat an ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat on the stovetop.
  5. 5
    Add the chicken, top side down, into the hot skillet with any marinade in the bag or dish. Cook until golden on the bottom, then flip the chicken over. Immediately put the chicken into the oven. 
  6. 6
    Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F internal temperature).
  7. 7
    Serve with the reserved chimichurri sauce.
