Garlic Lime Chicken

I love the flavor of this -- though it took me a few times to get the amount of spice just right. I usually mix all the proportions of spices together and then just sprinkle my own desired amount and save the rest until next time. This works well, especially since most of the time I'm just cooking for two. This is the first time I've tried it sandwich-style -- it was way yummy -- but I usually just serve it with garlic mashed potatoes and a veggie.

1 t. salt

3/4 t. pepper

1/4 t cayenne pepper

1/4 t. paprika

1 t garlic powder

1/2 t onion powder

1/2 t thyme

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

2 T butter

2 T olive oil

4 T lime juice

1/2 c chicken broth

Mix spices together and sprinkle mixture on both sides of chicken breasts.

In a skillet, heat butter and oil together over medium-high heat. Saute chicken until golden brown - about 5 min on each side. Remove chicken and add lime juice and chicken broth to pan, whisking up the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Keep cooking until sauce has reduced slightly. Add chicken back to pan, to coat and serve. Serves 6.
