Cilantro Lime Air Fryer Chicken Tenderloins

 This recipe goes along so well while dipping it with the Jalapeño Herb Sauce. This was a huge hit with every single person in our family. The flavor is so delicious! 

INGREDIENTS

2.5 lbs chicken tenderloins

CILANTRO LIME MARINADE

1/4 C lime juice

1 Tbsp. Olive oil

1 Tbsp. Honey

1/4 C cilantro minced

5 frozen cubes garlic or fresh cloves, minced

2 tsp. Chili powder

2 tsp. Ground cumin

1 tsp. Onion powder

1/2 tsp. Kosher salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the ingredients to make the marinade in a large resealable bag and shake to mix. Trim the tenderloins and place them in the bag with the marinade. Marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F for 2-3 minutes. Just before cooking, sprinkle the chicken with a good pinch of kosher salt and a few cracks of pepper. Spray the air fryer basket with a mist of olive oil and place the tenderloins into the basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes or until the tenderloins reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. You can also grill the chicken at medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove chicken from air fryer and serve with the linked sauce above. Use leftovers in tacos, salads, wraps, sandwiches, and bowl throughout the week.
