spicy chicken.

spicy garlic & lime chicken.

I was inspired one evening to spice up my taco recipe by incorporating one of my favorite things to cook, chicken. Chicken is so easy to make & it can be paired with a number of different sides, which is why I decided ditch the beef.

The ingredients are super simple, as it's a combination of a number of dry spices, fresh lime juice, butter, and olive oil. There is no way you can screw up this recipe, unless you're 'eye balling' the portions, so grab your measuring utensils.

Ingredients

• 3/4 Teaspoon of Salt.
• 1/4 Teaspoon of Black Pepper.
• 1/4 Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper.
• 1/8 Teaspoon of Paprika.
• 1/4 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder. 
• 1/8 Teaspoon of Onion Powder.
• 1/4 Teaspoon of dried Thyme.
• 1/4 Teaspoon of dried Parsley.
• 2 boneless & skinless Chicken Breasts.
• 2 Tablespoons of Lime Juice.

  Directions

In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and parsley. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of chicken breasts.

Heat butter and olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken until golden brown, about 6 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons garlic powder and lime juice. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently to coat evenly with sauce.
