Ingredients:

Serving

4 large boneless skinless chicken breast halves, split horizontally
1 cup prepared chimichurri sauce (recipe below )
2 tbsp canola oil
1 medium red onion, peeled and cut from stem to root into very thin strips
salt and pepper
4 sandwich buns, split
nonstick cooking spray
4 slices monterey jack cheese
1 ripe avocado , cut into 12 slices
1 cup lettuce leaf
2 cups loosely packed flat leaf parsley sprigs
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro stem
1 serrano chilies or 1 jalapeno chile, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup olive oil

Directions:

To Make Chimichurri Sauce: Combine parsley, cilantro, chile, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper in food processor. Cover and pulse until chopped.
Add olive oil gradually, with food processor running. Continue to process until smooth. Makes 1 1/3 cup.
To Make Chimichurri Sandwiches: Combine chicken and 3/4 cup chimichurri sauce in large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag and turn to coat. Chill several hours or overnight.
Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from plastic bag, discarding any sauce remaining in bag. Grill chicken 2 to 4 minutes on each side, turning only once, until browned and no longer pink in center. Stack cooked chicken into 4 equal portions. Top each with 1 slice cheese. Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes.
Heat canola oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; saute 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Stir in salt and pepper.
Toast sandwich buns, if desired. Spread cut sides of buns with remaining Chimichurri Sauce. Serve chicken on buns topped with onions, avocado and lettuce. Serve immediately.
