Air Fryer Yogurt Cilantro Lime Chicken (Thighs or Breasts)

This Air Fryer Yogurt Cilantro Lime Chicken is a vibrant, herb-forward chicken dish coated in a flavorful green marinade of cilantro, lime, and garlic, then roasted to juicy perfection. Easy, healthy, and perfect for meal prep.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 pounds chicken breasts (skinless and boneless, or thighs (680 g))
• 1 small red onion ( sliced)
• 1 cup fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, or sour cream)
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 medium lime (juiced. about 2 tbsp | 30 mL)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoons ground cumin
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine cilantro, yogurt, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, onion, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
2. 2Add chicken to a bowl or zip-top bag, and pour ¾ of the green marinade over it. Toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 12 hours for deeper flavor).
3. 3Preheat the air-fryer to 425°F (220°C). Arrange marinated chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Air-Fry for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp: 165°F | 74°C).
4. 4Serve warm with rice, quinoa, or flatbread. Drizzle with any more sauce for extra flavor.
