Garlic Lime Spicy Chicken
Ingredients
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
1
Combine salt, black pepper, cayenne, a pinch of garlic powder, thyme, parsley, paprika, and onion powder in a small bowl.
2
Dust the chicken breasts liberally with the spice mixture, coating them evenly on both sides.
3
Heat a generous amount of butter and olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
4
Sear the chicken breasts until they are nicely browned, taking around 6 minutes on each side to achieve this.
5
Sprinkle the chicken breasts with a substantial amount of the remaining garlic powder and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
6
Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with its own juices.
