Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
4. In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
5. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dredge each chicken breast in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.
6. Place the breaded chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray lightly with cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
7. Air fry the chicken at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and air fry for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden brown.
8. Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
