Lunch Recipes
Chimichurri Marinated Chicken Caesar Salad - Marinade chicken breasts in Chimichurri. After grilling, slice and serve on top of a Caesar salad with Phil’s Secret Caesar of course.
Panini Sandwich - Instead of mayonnaise or aioli, use Chimichurri as your Panini spread. One favorite is using Comté cheese and Porchetta on your Ciabatta bread. Another idea came from a favorite customer. "I dare you to put a little of Phil’s chimichurri on some sourdough with smoked cheddar, sliced turkey and garden fresh tomatoes. Throw that in your panini maker and see if you will ever have anything else for lunch again!"
