Garlic-Lime Chicken

I don't know about you, but we're always looking for a good chicken recipe in our house. Here's one that's sure to be a hit in yours.

Ingredients:

1 tsp. salt
1 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 halves
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
4 Tbsp. lime juice

In a bowl, mix together first seven ingredients. Sprinkle mixture on both sides of chicken breasts.

Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Saute chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about five minutes on each side. Reduce heat, remove chicken from the pan (keeping warm), and add the broth and lime juice to the pan, whisking up brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Keep cooking until sauce has reduced slightly. Add chicken back to the skillet, coat thoroughly, and serve.
