Sweet & Spicy Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • juice of 1/2 lemon

Preparation

Step 1


In a small bowl, combine all the spices.
Flatten your chicken breasts with a meat mallet to allow for even cooking.
Coat both sides of flattened chicken breasts with the spice mixture generously.
In a pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Saute chicken until golden brown, about 6 minutes on each side.
While chicken is cooking, squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken.
Continue cooking stirring frequently to coat evenly with sauce.



I served this with a sour cream & chive baked potato
and sweet & spicy buttered corn cobbettes.
(I used the same sweet & spicy spice mix
to make an flavored butter for the corn.)
