Instructions

Prepare Chicken: If needed, pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, parsley, paprika, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Season chicken breasts generously on both sides.
Cook Chicken: Heat butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 6 minutes per side), reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Make Sauce: Sprinkle minced garlic into the skillet and pour in chicken broth and lime juice. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve: Serve chicken hot with the pan sauce spooned over.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the chicken, as it can become dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as rice pilaf, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
