Ingredients

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

1 Mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, thyme, parsley, paprika, and onion powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of chicken breasts.
