Summer Lovin: Chimichurri Grilled Chicken

Want to talk about recipes that will be on repeat all summer long?! This one right here! Goodness it was so fresh and mighty. And bright and flavorful! The recipe calls for tomatoes in the couscous but we switched it up. We wanted some grilled veggies so we tossed the tomatoes and asparagus in a grill basket and then added it as a side. Solid decision!
