Southwestern Feast

We had Paul's brother over tonight for dinner and i wanted to make something super yummy, since he's a bachelor, lives with another dude, and umm lets say, there is no fine dining over there. I also wanted to make it as healthy as possible.

So i defrosted my chicken breasts and away i went!

to go along with it i had steamed corn, and also an Archer's Farm Southwest Chipotle Pasta Salad. Yes, i said it. My pasta salad came from a box. But guess what? it was easy, delish, and not too shabby with the nutrition facts.

anyway, here is the recipe for the chicken.

Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/2 white wine

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and parsley. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of chicken breasts.(i found that i had to double the recipe for 4 breasts. apparently i really like to coat my chicken!)
   
2. Heat butter and olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken until golden brown, about 6 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons garlic powder, white wine and lime juice. TASTE IT FOR SALT, if you need more, add it. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently to coat evenly with sauce.
