GARLIC LIME CHICKEN
(very, very good) Submitted by Marylyn__TX of DG.
Ingredients:
1tsp. salt
1tsp Pepper
1/4tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1/4tsp. Paprika
1tsp. Garlic powder
1/2tsp. Onion Powder
1/2tsp. Thyme
6 boneless. Skinless chicken breasts
2Tbs. butter
2Tbs. Olive Oil
1/2cup chicken broth
4Tbs. fresh lime juice.
To Do:
In a bowl, mix together the first 7 ingredients (the spices)...
Sprinkle mixture on both sides of the chicken breasts.
In a skillet, heat butter and oil together over medium high heat.
Sauté chicken until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes
on either side and no longer pink in the center. (for breasts) . Longer for thighs.
Remove chicken to a plate. Add Lime juice and chicken broth to the pan,
Whisking up the browned bits in the bottom of the pan.
Keep cooking until sauce has reduced slightly.
Add chicken back to the pan to thoroughly coat—and serve.
This is really good with rice (especially the packaged, yellow “Saffron Rice”--
also called "Spanish Rice,")-- found in the rice aisle.
Also good with noodles (which I would cook in water with Ch. Broth added.)
Note: -- If using boneless Chicken thighs, you will need to sauté them
for a longer time. Splay them open for more even cooking.
****Mix up the spice mixture in a larger quantity ahead of time. Keep in a sealed
container. Using an old spice jar, with a sprinkler head, will make it easier to
sprinkle it on the chicken pieces in the future.
SOOO Delicious!!!! Gita
