Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

There are a lot of flavors going on here; many of my favorites.  I would probably serve this with rice.

3/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/8 tsp. paprika

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/8 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. dried thyme

1/4 tsp. dried parsley

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

2 tbsp. butter

1 tbsp. olive oil

2 tsp. garlic powder

3 tbsp. lime juice

In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and parsley.  Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of the 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 tsp. garlic powder and lime juice.  Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently to coat evenly with sauce.
