In need of an easy dinner? You’ll love this recipe. It’s so easy and delicious! And . . . just change the side dish and it works for either a low carb day or a high carb day!
Tip: (Save time! Mix up a whole bunch of seasoning at once to have on hand! You?ll need about ? Tbsp per recipe.)
Garlic Lime Chicken – Serves 2
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons low sodium chicken broth
1 ? tablespoons lime juice
SEASONING
? teaspoon salt
? teaspoon pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of paprika
? teaspoon garlic powder
? teaspoon onion powder
? teaspoon thyme
- Mix seasonings together in large zip-top baggie. Add chicken breasts to the bag, seal, and smoosh around until all chicken is well coated with seasoning.
- Add butter and olive oil to pan and melt.
- Add chicken and cook on both sides until done. Remove from pan and keep warm.
- To skillet, add lime juice and broth. Using a whisk, mix the liquids and browned bits off pan bottom and sides. Continue cooking until sauce has reduced slightly.
- Add chicken back to the pan, coating with the sauce. Then serve.
On a low carb day, serve with your favorite veggies like asparagus or broccoli and a green salad.
On a high carb day, sweet potatoes make a great side dish or diced potatoes. (I added just a touch of cheese for our guilt free day!)
Enjoy!
