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)
Steps
-
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 fry in a single layer at 380 degrees for 5 minutes on each side.
