Ingredients

¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 ¼ teaspoons garlic powder, divided
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
⅛ teaspoon paprika
⅛ teaspoon onion powder
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

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.
