Garlic Lime Chicken

Garlic Lime Chicken
Serves 6

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (can be omitted)
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons lime juice

In a small bowl, mix together all seasonings, except the last
measurement of garlic powder and lime juice.

Dredge chicken breasts in seasoning mix on both sides.

Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté
chicken until golden brown, about six minutes on each side. Sprinkle
with remaining garlic powder and limejuice and cook 5 minutes
stirring frequently to coat evenly with the sauce. Serve.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: I served it with baked potato salad and green beans.

Notes: I actually used a whole chicken cut up, skinned and deboned. That will change the caloric count but it was really good.
