Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

3.4 t. salt

1/4 t. black pepper

1/4 t. cayenne pepper

1/8 t. paprika

1/4 t. garlic powder

1/8 t. onion powder

1.4 t. dried thyme

1/4 t. dried parsley

4 chicken breasts

2 T. butter

1 T. olive oil

2 t. garlic powder

3 T. lime juice

Mix spices together. Sprinkle on chicken . Heat oil and butter on medium heat. Cook chicken till brown, about 6 minutes per side. Sprinkle with 2 t. garlic powder and lime juice. Cook 5 minutes stirring frequently to coat evenly with sauce.

Tips/Adjustments: All the dried ingredients can be exchanged for fresh. I use fresh garlic in the spice mixture and also I use half fresh garlic and garlic powder at the end when making the lime sauce.

Then after browning chicken in the pan, but when it isn't quite cooked through I like to throw it on the BBQ and get a little more flavor from that, but I've done it both ways and its delicious either way.  After I BBQ I put it back in the pan and finish the rest of the instructions. A little lime zest makes it even better when adding in the lime juice. Don't worry if the "sauce" your making at the end isn't much, just makes sure to pour it over the chicken while cooking. And cilantro gives a it a fresh taste if you want to use some to garnish at the end. Your choice. I suggest making it the way the recipe says the first time and then build off it.

I'll post a picture tonight after I'm done making this.
