1
Using a mallet, gently pound the thicker end of each chicken breast to make it even with the thinner end.
2
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.
3
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.
4
When ready to cook, oil a grill and preheat it to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
5
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.
6
Remove the chicken from the heat, and place it on a platter. Squeeze over the juice of the second lime.
7
Garnish the chicken generously with the remaining fresh cilantro before serving.
