Chimichurri Main Ingredients

This chimichurri sauce recipe actually comes from my 17 Day Diet Cycle 2 meal plan for the Summer season.

This sauce is fairly simple to make. It only includes a few key ingredients, which include:

• fresh parsley (or cilantro)
• shallot
• garlic cloves
• salt and pepper
• red pepper flakes (optional)
• red wine vinegar
• olive oil

Chimichurri Recipe with Cilantro

I chose parsley for this particular recipe as I know cilantro is sort of hit or miss most people.

You either love or hate cilantro.

If you fall into the love category, you can definitely customize this recipe and use cilantro instead of parsley. 

You can also use half parsley and half cilantro if you want both flavors. The choice is yours!

Chicken with Chimichurri Sauce

This Chimichurri Beef Kabobs recipe uses your favorite cut of meat. However, if you’re not a huge fan of beef, you can definitely make chicken with chimichurri sauce instead.

Either leaner chicken breast or a littler fattier dark thigh meat would be just fine with this recipe.

If you choose to use chicken instead of beef, make sure you grill your chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. 

Chimichurri Beef Kabobs with Vegetables

While this recipe is mainly all about the chimichurri sauce, you can certainly add vegetables to your beef skewers (or serve veggies on the side if you want).

Here are a few ideas for beef skewers with vegetables:

• Cherry Tomatoes
• Onion 
• Zucchini and/or Squash
• Mushrooms
• Bell Peppers
• Pieces of corn on the cob

Chimichurri Sauce for the 17 Day Diet

If you’re eating low carb on the 17 Day Diet, you can certainly have this Chimichurri Beef Kabobs recipe starting on cycle 2 when beef is approved.

If you want to make this chimichurri recipe in Cycle 1, simply use chicken instead.

If you’re not sure which foods are allowed when, make sure you check out my 17 Day Diet Cycle 1 Food List for all the info!

You can also check out my book on Amazon called Fast Track Your Weight Loss With the 17 Day Diet which has all the food lists (and a 7 day meal plan, too!).

Can I have Chimichurri Sauce on the Kickstart Diet?

Yes, you can definitely have Chimichurri Sauce while on the 17 Day Kickstart Diet. If you use beef, you can enjoy this dish starting on the 10-Day Stabilize Phase.

If you want to flavor up your kabobs with Chimichurri Sauce earlier on the Kickstart Diet, use chicken instead of beef and you can use this recipe from day 1.

If you’re not sure which foods are allowed during each phase, make sure you take a look at my 17 Day Kickstart Diet Food List.

Is Chimichurri Keto?

Losing weight with a low carb Keto Diet? If so, you can certainly use this recipe while on the Keto Diet.

A fattier cut of beef makes a great alternative if you need to increase your fat macros for the day.
