Garlic Lime Chicken

This comes from my ward cookbook. I think I've made this at least once a month since the first time I made this recipe.

GARLIC LIME CHICKEN
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder (or 1-2 cloves added to the hot oil)
1/2 tsp onion powder (don't have any so I've left it out)
1/2 tsp thyme (I'm out, so I've made it with oregano instead and it's still tasty)

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 T butter
2 T olive oil
1/2 C chicken broth
4T lime juice


Mix the spices together and sprinkle on both sides of the chicken. Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute chicken until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes on either side or until chicken is cooked through. Push chicken to the edges of the pan and add broth and lime juice. Increase heat to high until the sauce has reduced a bit. Cover both sides of the chicken with sauce and serve.


I often serve the chicken on leftover brown rice and pour the remaining lime sauce over steamed vegetables.
