Categories     Chicken     Sauté

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/8 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp dried parsley
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 TBL butter
1 TBL olive oil
2 tsp garlic powder
3 TBL lime juice

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and parsley Sprinkle generously on both sides of chicken (I do this at least 1 hr before) bring chicken close to room temp before cooking Heat butter and olive oil in 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

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic and lime juice add a burst of flavor to this dish. Use the best quality ingredients you can find for the best results.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken breasts, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will cause the chicken to steam rather than brown.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) before serving.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Garlic lime chicken breasts can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, roasted vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

Garlic lime chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of garlic, lime juice, and spices, then cooked until it is tender and juicy. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and healthy. Serve garlic lime chicken breasts with your favorite sides for a complete meal that the whole family will enjoy.
