07 - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
08 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

10 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
11 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

13 - 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
14 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

# Directions:
01 - In a mixing bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended. Reserve 1/3 cup as sauce for serving.
02 - Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour remaining chimichurri over chicken, ensuring all surfaces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor development.
03 - Preheat grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Allow 5 minutes for even heat distribution before adding chicken.
04 - Remove chicken from marinade and season both sides with additional salt and pepper. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear when pierced. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
05 - Divide cooked rice evenly among 4 bowls. Arrange sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and red onion over rice in each bowl.
06 - Drizzle reserved chimichurri sauce over each bowl. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lime wedges on the side.
