Garlic Lime Chicken

4.5(25)

From Leanne Ely's book, Saving Dinner (Fall). Serve with garlic mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, or baked sweet potatoes. The seasonings are relatively mild. You could probably safely add any seasoning left over after sprinkling breasts to the pan without it being too spicy.
