Zutaten

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)

Anweisungen

Pound the thicker end of the chicken breast with a mallet to make it even with the thinner end.

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.

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.

When ready to cook, oil a grill or grill pan over medium to medium-high heat.

Grill about 5 minutes on each side, or until charred and cooked through in the center.

Remove and set aside on a platter and squeeze the remaining lime over the chicken. Garnish with the remaining fresh cilantro.

Air Fryer Directions:

Air fry in a single layer at 380 degrees for 5 minutes on each side.
