Seasoned and Seared Chicken

Seasoning: 1 tsp. Salt

¼ tsp. Cayenne pepper

1 tsp. Garlic powder

½ tsp. Thyme

1 tsp. Pepper

¼ tsp. Paprika

½ tsp. Onion powder

Put these spices in a tiny Tupperware container and keep. Sprinkle as much as you want (save the rest for another time) on both sides of chicken breasts and cook with a tiny bit of margarine or olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Do not cover. Cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Only turn chicken over once.

Garlic Lime Chicken

Seasoning: 1 tsp. Salt

¼ tsp. Cayenne pepper

1 tsp. Garlic powder

½ tsp. Thyme

1 tsp. Pepper

¼ tsp. Paprika

½ tsp. Onion powder

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 Tbsp. Olive oil

2 Tbsp. Butter

½ c. chicken broth (or ½ c. water mixed with ½ tsp. chicken bullion)

4 Tbsp. Lime juice

In a bowl, mix together seasoning. Sprinkle mixture on both sides of chicken breasts. In a skillet heat butter and olive oil together over medium heat. Saute 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.
