Garlic Lime Chicken

From Leanne Ely's book, Saving Dinner (Fall). Serve with garlic mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, or baked sweet potatoes. The seasonings are relatively mild. You could probably safely add any seasoning left over after sprinkling breasts to the pan without it being too spicy.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 3⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
• 1  teaspoon garlic powder

• 6  boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 4  tablespoons lime juice
• 1⁄2 cup chicken broth

Directions

1. On a plate, mix together first seven ingredients (through thyme). Sprinkle mixture on both sides of chicken breasts.
2. In a skillet heat butter and olive oil together over medium-high heat. Saute chicken until golden brown (about 5 minutes on each side) and done through.
3. Remove chicken and add lime juice and chicken broth to the pan, whisking up the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Keep cooking until sauce has reduced slightly. Add chicken back to the pan to thoroughly cover and serve.
