Directions
Place parsley, oregano, oil, vinegar, garlic, broth and red pepper flakes in a blender and blend until the herbs are finely chopped. Transfer half to a small serving bowl, cover and refrigerate. Pour the remaining herb mixture to a gallon-size resealable plastic bag.
Add chicken tenders to the bag and toss until coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours. Meanwhile, if using wooden skewers, soak skewers in water at least 20 minutes.
When ready to grill, heat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Take the reserved chimichurri out of the refrigerator to come to room temperature.
Weave 1 or 2 chicken tenders lengthwise on each skewer. Place the skewers on a lightly oiled grill rack and grill uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes, flipping every 2 to 3 minutes until grill marks appear and the chicken is no longer pink inside and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Serve with the reserved chimichurri.
