5m prep | 15m cook | 4 servings

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

HOW TO MAKE IT

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.

Air Fryer Directions:

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