Garlic Lime Chicken from www.savingdinner.com

Garlic Lime Chicken
Serves 6

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
6 boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
4 tablespoons lime juice

In a bowl, mix together first 7 ingredients. Sprinkle mixture on both
sides of chicken breasts. (one FlyBaby mixes a triple recipe on this
spice mix and keeps in a salt shaker to use for this purpose--
brilliant idea!)

In a skillet heat butter and olive oil together over medium high
heat. Satue chicken until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes
on either side or until no longer pink in the center. 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 coat and
serve.
