A good day and yummy dinner

I have felt pretty accomplished today and I even got a nap in! Today was the Flickinger yard sale. It really went well and I think the residents really enjoyed it! We had about 10 families come and sell things and quite a good turnout of buyers. I also took apart our grill and totally cleaned it, took our bikes in to get them fixed up.

Two of the girls who work in the office came to the yard sale. Then they went to check out the North Tonawanda Farmers Market and were such dears and brought me back a thin mint blizzard (amazing BTW). We decided to all go to the farmers market together next weekend and then go to Canal Fest and check out the flea market. Kyle is out of town next weekend so I can have fun girl time:)

Tonight I made Spicy Garlic Lime chicken and it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and parsley. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of chicken breasts.
  2. Heat butter and olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken until golden brown, about 6 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons garlic powder and lime juice. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently to coat evenly with sauce.
I served it over homemade garlic mashed potatoes and it was divine when the sauce soaked into the potatoes. This will definitly have to become part of my r'epertoire of cooking:)
