It's Cooking Thursday at Diary of a SAHM. Join in the fun and link up one of your favorite recipes!
The recipe that I am sharing today is one of my all-time favorites! I've been making it for a few years now and every time it turns out absolutely delicious.
The original recipe comes from the cookbook Saving Dinner by Leanne Ely.
Garlic Lime Chicken
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
In a small bowl, combine first 7 ingredients; sprinkle mixture on both sides of chicken breast halves.
In a skillet, heat butter and olive oil together over medium-high heat; saute chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side; remove from skillet and keep warm.
Add lime juice and chicken broth to the skillet, whisking up all of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until sauce has reduced slightly. Return chicken to the skillet to thoroughly coat with the sauce; serve.

OH!!!!! And a HUGE thank you to the Kitchen Witch! I won a giveaway on her blog and I must say I am super stoked about it!!!!! Thank you again!
There are a lot of really good recipes in there, but I have to say that the garlic lime chicken is absolutely the best! I have made it over rice several times, but this week I mixed it with some frozen green peas and whole wheat pasta. It was fantastic!
