This is one of our favorite recipes. Thought I would share it here. I now use Smart Balance instead of butter and it turned out great. I also make double the amount of the juice with the lime and broth.


1           teaspoon  salt
  1           teaspoon  pepper
     1/4      teaspoon  cayenne pepper
     1/4      teaspoon  paprika
  1           teaspoon  garlic powder
     1/2      teaspoon  onion powder
     1/2      teaspoon  thyme
  6                     boneless skinless chicken breast
  2        tablespoons  butter
  2        tablespoons  olive oil
     1/2           cup  chicken broth
  4        tablespoons  lime juice


In a bowl, mix together first 7 ingredients. Sprinkle mixture on both
sides of chicken breasts. (one FlyBaby mixes a triple recipe on this
spice mix and keeps in a salt shaker to use for this purpose--
brilliant idea!)


In a skillet heat butter and olive oil together over medium high
heat. Satue chicken until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes
on either side or until no longer pink in the center. Remove chicken
and add lime juice and chicken broth to the pan, whisking up the
browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Keep cooking until sauce has
reduced slightly. Add chicken back to the pan to thoroughly coat and
serve.

Hi!

I was poking around the website for recipes (thinking of trying SBD) and tried this one for dinner last night. My husband and kids went NUTS for this chicken!! I have never seen a reaction like this one! Everyone was asking for seconds before they even finished their first helpings. It's definitely a keeper, and making me think I should maybe give this WOE a try--especially if I can make things like this that my whole family will eat. Thanks!
