Garlic Lime Chicken

Garlic Lime Chicken From Savingdinner.com
Serves 6
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (I used 10 tenderloins)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 4 tablespoons lime juice

In a bowl, mix together first 7 ingredients. Sprinkle mixture on both sides of chicken breasts.

In a skillet heat butter and olive oil together over medium high heat. Saute chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Turn down the heat, remove the chicken (keeping warm) and add the lime juice and chicken broth to the pan, whisking up the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Keep cooking until sauce has reduced slightly. Add chicken back to the pan to thoroughly coat and serve.

This was very Yummy! I got lots of thumbs up, & mhmms. It is on the spicy side. I am going to use a little less cayenne pepper next time, as my little ones thought it was a little spicy.

You definitely need to try the Lime Rice Patti posted with this they were very good together!
