Cooking Steps
• Pat chicken* dry and season with half the garlic powder, half the paprika, salt, and pepper (all the garlic powder and all the paprika for 4). • Drizzle oil in a hot large pan. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side.
• While chicken cooks, wash and dry produce. • Massage grain blend in package to separate grains. Partially open package; microwave until warmed through, 11⁄2-2 minutes. • Quarter tomato lengthwise, then cut crosswise into quarter-moons. Thinly slice cucumber and radishes.
• In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with half the chimichurri. • In a large bowl, whisk vinegar with remaining chimichurri and a large drizzle of olive oil.
• Add tomato, cucumber, radishes, edamame, arugula, and grain blend to bowl with vinaigrette. Toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. • Top salad with chicken and drizzle with chimichurri mayo. Serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Review summary
Updated on Apr 2026- Flavor: The chimichurri sauce gets rave reviews for its bright, herbaceous taste with a pleasant spicy kick.
- Ease of prep: Super quick and easy to assemble, though actual prep time runs closer to 25-30 minutes rather than the listed 15.
- Suggestions: Peel cucumbers before slicing to avoid bitterness; keep arugula separate for better leftovers since it wilts when mixed.
- Leftovers: Makes generous portions that work wonderfully for meal prep lunches and taste great the next day.
- Timing: Cook chicken on medium heat instead of medium-high to prevent the paprika from burning.
Reviews from our home cooks
The chimichurri mayo was perfect to complement the smoked paprika on the chicken; the veggies were crisp (I added garlic pepper crispy onions for some crunch) and the vinaigrette was easy to make even if I put too much olive oil in mine. Yummy & will favorite!
Excellent - very flavorful for a healthy meal. The vinegar base on the salad mixture, combined with the mayo/chimchurri was really, really good. And the radishes added a great texture to the bowl. Top 5 favorite recipes!
Felt like it was a great mix of protein, veggies and grains/legumes--it had it all. Very satisfying, healthy and flavorful. The Chimichurri was a great addition along with the vinaigrette. Will definitely order again.
Tasty, took to long to prepare. Instructions say medium high heat to cook chicken. That's way to high. I cooked on medium and came out perfect. The paprika tends to make it burn so medium is best. Husband wasn't fond of arugula, but I liked it.
This is my first experience with chimichurri, it was tasty! It would be nice though to have chicken options other than cutlets - like the chopped dark meat, or sous vide chopped chicken. But I appreciated the arugula & edamame which gave extra/different flavors too. Definitely going to be a fave!
Our first time with chimichurri and it didn't disappoint, other than I wish we had more, lol. Definitely one of our favorites. My husband loved the tomatoes, me not so much - but the radishes were very tasty with the whole flavor profile.
I just LOVE the grain bowls!! ANY grain bowl, and this one with the radishes, edamame and chimichurri is SUCH A GOOD COMBO., Keep the bowls coming!
I LOVE all of the healthy ingredients. Especially enjoy having edamame and radishes used in meals. It's so delicious too. The chimichurri sauce is the best.
Are grains supposed to be warm? This tasted better after putting the second serving in the fridge and chilling it down. Also I don't like mayo so I just used half the chimichurri to cook the chicken. It was plenty oily enough.
Love this! I love the grain bowls you guys have added. Easy to prep and even though they're based on similar ingredients they're each unique
