3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried parsley
4 boneless skinless chicken breast (halves)
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsps garlic powder
3 Tbsp lime juice

Directions:
  1. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and parsley.  Sprinkle seasoning mixture on both sides of the chicken breasts.
  2. Heat butter and olive oil in a large heavy skillet on medium heat.  Saute chicken until golden brown, about 6 minutes each side.  Sprinkle with 2 tsps garlic powder and lime juice.  Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently to coat evenly with sauce.
I'm sure you could use less butter or substitute something else for it for a healthier option.  I found this recipe on yummly.com

New Home


There are some things that I didn't talk about in the video that I will need to be organizing (such as office supplies), but at least you'll get an idea for how our apartment looks & is set up.  Hopefully it wasn't too long for you (9+ minutes).
