Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

Loaded with flavor, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. thyme
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 tbsp. lime juice
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Combine first seven ingredients and sprinkle on both sides of chicken breasts. You can do this on a dinner plate or in a repurposed spice bottle with shaker top.

  2. Heat butter and oil together in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 5 minute per side).

  3. Remove chicken. Add lime juice and chicken broth to skillet and cook until sauce is slightly reduced, being sure to scrape up all the tasty browned bits on the bottom of the pan.

  4. Add chicken back to pan to coat well and bring back to temperature. Stir in heavy cream and cook another minute or so before serving.
