Ingredients:

1 cup Italian flat leaf parsley, packed
1/4 cup cilantro, packed
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed (leave the seeds and ribs for a hotter chimichurri)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil

Combine the cumin, garlic powder and paprika in a small bowl. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and then sprinkle the seasoning mix on both sides. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Let it marinate while you make the chimichurri.
To make the chimichurri, put everything but the olive oil into a blender. Pulse until chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. If you want a thicker chimichurri, add more parsley and/or cilantro.
Heat an outdoor grill, indoor grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 6 to 7 minutes per side. Put the chicken on a serving platter and top with the chimichurri sauce.
