Cilantro Lime Chicken is the the most flavorful chicken breast recipe, 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
- 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.
