1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts, no skin, no bone
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
4 tablespoons lime juice

In a bowl, mix together first 7 ingredients. Sprinkle mixture on both sides of chicken breasts.

In a skillet heat olive oil over medium high heat. Saute chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Turn down the heat, remove the chicken (keeping warm) and add the lime juice and chicken broth to the pan, whisking up the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Keep cooking until sauce has reduced slightly. Add chicken back to the pan to thoroughly coat and serve.

TO SERVE: Thaw. Follow cooking directions above.

LOW IODINE DIRECTIONS: Use non-iodized salt and LID-safe chicken broth.

NOTES: The original recipe calls for 2 Tblsp butter in addition to the olive oil to cook the chicken in. It still is tasty without it.
