Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Lime Spicy Chicken.
Step 1
Start by creating a flavorful spice blend that will elevate your chicken.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, a quarter teaspoon of garlic powder, dried thyme, dried parsley, paprika, and onion powder.
Step 3
Give it a good stir until everything is well combined.
Step 4
Now, take your chicken breasts and generously sprinkle this aromatic mixture on both sides, making sure they are nicely coated for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Next, grab a large heavy skillet and heat a delightful combination of butter and olive oil over medium heat until it’s melted and sizzling.
Step 6
Carefully add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet, letting them sauté for about six minutes on each side.
Step 7
You’re looking for that beautiful golden-brown color and for the chicken to be cooked through—this is where the magic happens! Once your chicken is perfectly cooked, sprinkle the remaining two teaspoons of garlic powder over the top and drizzle with fresh lime juice.
Step 8
This adds a zesty kick that will make your taste buds dance! Stir frequently for another five minutes, allowing the chicken to soak up all those delicious cooking juices.
Step 9
The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist diving in right away.

Enjoy your flavorful chicken, and savor every bite!.
