Cilantro Lime Chicken Breast is marinated in olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, and cilantro and cooked in the air fryer or on the grill/grill pan.

Ingredients

• 4 organic boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
• zest and juice of 1 lime (plus 1 lime cut into wedges)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (divided)
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tsp kosher salt and black pepper (to taste)

Directions

1. Pound the thicker end of the chicken breast with a mallet to make it even with the thinner end.
2. Combine the juice of 1 lime, lime zest, olive oil, 1/4 cup of the cilantro finely chopped, garlic and salt to a large glass or ceramic container with a lid, or a gallon size freezer bag.
3. Coat the chicken well on both sides and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour or as long as overnight, the longer the better, turning halfway.
4. When ready to cook, oil a grill or grill pan over medium to medium-high heat.
5. Grill about 5 minutes on each side, or until charred and cooked through in the center.
6. Remove and set aside on a platter and squeeze the remaining lime over the chicken. Garnish with the remaining fresh cilantro.
7. Air fry in a single layer at 380 degrees for 5 minutes on each side.
