Using a mallet, gently pound the thicker end of each chicken breast to make it even with the thinner end.

In a large glass or ceramic container, combine the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade, ensuring all sides are covered. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, turning the chicken halfway through.

When ready to cook, oil a grill and preheat it to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cook the chicken on the grill for approximately 7 minutes on each side, or in the air fryer for 5 minutes on each side, until the chicken is charred and thoroughly cooked.

Remove the chicken from the heat, and place it on a platter. Squeeze over the juice of the second lime.

Garnish the chicken generously with the remaining fresh cilantro before serving.
