Garlic Lime Chicken

Seasoning:
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. onion powder

Season both sides of chicken and pan fry, either with cooking spray or olive oil.

**I make this a lot so I make up a big batch of the seasoning and store it in a container. Sometimes I use it to make the garlic lime chicken, or sometimes I don't do the lime sauce part and just use the seasoned chicken for fajitas, burritos, salads, etc.

Lime Sauce: (per 1 lb. chicken)
4 Tbsp. lime juice
1/2 c. chicken broth
Once chicken is cooked, remove chicken from pan and add lime juice and broth. Whisk to get browned pieces off bottom of pan. Let liquid reduce slightly. Add chicken back to pan. Thoroughly coat and serve.
