Prepare chimichurri sauce: combine all ingredients except olive oil, lemon juice and lemon zest in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
Transfer processed mixture to a bowl. Stir in olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Season chicken breasts with salt. Add 3 tbsp of chimichurri sauce. Mix well and chill for 20 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry marinated chicken 7-8 minutes per side or until crispy, golden, and cooked through.
Transfer fried chicken to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
Divide chicken between serving plates, pour 2 tbsp of chimichurri over each fillet and enjoy!

Notes
Notes: macros include all the ingredients. If you don't consume all the oil in the sauce, the fat and calories amount will be much less. You can use chicken thigh in the place of breast. You can also exclude chili pepper if you don't like spicy food.
