Preparation

Step 1

To bowl of food processor, add onion, garlic, Adobo and hot pepper flakes. Pulse 8 times, or until onion is very finely chopped, scraping down sides of bowl between pulses if necessary. Add cilantro, parsley, oregano and vinegar to bowl of food processor. Pulse 5 times, or until herbs are finely chopped. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while pulsing until just combined. Transfer 5 tbsp. chimichurri sauce to small bowl; cover and set in refrigerator. Transfer remaining chimichurri sauce to gallon-size zip-top bag; add chicken and seal bag. Massage to coat chicken in marinade; transfer to refrigerator. Marinate at least 2 hours or until ready to grill; discard marinade.

Heat grill to medium-high heat. Add chicken to hot, greased grill grates. Grill, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature registers 165° on quick-read thermometer when inserted into thickest part of breast), about 10 minutes. Brush both sides of onions and peppers with oil. Grill, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, about 10.

Transfer chicken to serving plates. Top with reserved chimichurri sauce; serve with grilled onions and peppers.
