Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

As you can tell from our blog, Kelly and I are a little bit lop sided on chicken recipes.  Here is another one.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/8 teaspoon paprika

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 cup lime juice

4 boneless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic minced

1 teaspoon lime zest

1 tablespoon lime juice

In a small bowl, combine ingredients from kosher salt --> lime juice

Place chicken breasts in a plastic bag and pour mixture from bowl into the bag.  Ensure all chicken is well coated and place plastic bag in a bowl in the fridge for 1 - 4 hours.

Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add minced garlic and sauté

 for 2 minutes.  Next add chicken and cook until golden brown (about 6 minutes each side).  Sprinkle with lime zest and lime juice right before serving.  

You can serve over rice, pasta, or fresh spinach.
