Chicken in Lime Butter

By Addie

"A few ordinary, on-hand ingredients make this moist and tender chicken something really extraordinary! The flavor added by the rich, buttery sauce with a splash of lime juice is unmatched. It’s been a hands-down winner at our house for 20 some years," says Denise Segura of Draper, Utah.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
• 1/4 teaspoon minced chives

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reaches 170°; drain. Remove and keep warm.


Add butter and lime juice to the skillet; cook and stir until butter is melted. Stir in dill and chives. Drizzle over chicken. Yield: 4 servings.

One of my family's favorite meals. It's very quick and easy to make too!

What a great flavor! I use hawaiian sea salt and Costco's pepper to season the chicken and the kids eat it that way, and then my husband and I use the lime butter on top after slicing our chicken to let it soak in. I've made this twice in the past month and it's so good and so easy! I drain the pan after cooking the chicken before making the sauce.

Good recipe, but I would recomend cutting the amount of butter to a couple tablespoons. Otherwise it is swimming in butter.

I made this the other night and shared some with my Grandma. Now, my Grandma is very particular and rarely gives me a compliment when it comes to my cooking....but this recipe she loved! I'll be sure to make this one again!

I love this recipe. It is so easy and wonderfully delicious. Although the dill adds a special flavor, it's still very good without it.

This was delicious! I make a little more of the butter sauce than called for.
