spicy garlic lime chicken

I feel like I start every recipe post out the same way...."I didn't follow the recipe exactly and I made some changes", but isn't that what cooking is all about! For this recipe I didn't use the measurements given because I used chicken breast tenderloins instead of an actual chicken breast. I find that I eat smaller portions when I use the tenderloins for dinner. Anyway, I also didn't add thyme to the recipe because I didn't have it in the pantry. Here is the basic outline for you to follow if you want a quick and delicious dinner. 

Ingredients:

¾ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

⅛ teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

⅛ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon dried thyme

¼ teaspoon dried parsley

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons garlic powder

3 tablespoons lime juice

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and parsley. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of chicken breasts.

2. Heat butter and olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Sauté chicken until golden brown.

3. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons garlic powder and lime juice.

4. Cook, stirring frequently to coat evenly with sauce.
