Leanne Ely's Lime Garlic Chicken

This recipe is fantastic. It is spicy but very good.

1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp 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
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp lime juice
1/2 c. chicken broth (low sodium is best!)

In a clean salt shaker mix together spice/herb ingredients. Sprinkle mixture on both sides of chicken. In a skillet heat butter and oil together on medium heat. Saute chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove chicken and add lime juice and chicken broth to pan, whisking up browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Keep cooking until sauce as reduced slightly. Add chicken back to the pan to thoroughly coat and serve.

I serve this with steamed veggies and either applesauce or fruit of some type.
