A great chicken recipe!!
I’ve had this recipe in my little recipe collection for as long as I can remember. I’m pretty sure I copied it from my sister back in college, and I’ve been making it ever since. It’s one of those recipes that is so simple that you don’t think it can possibly be any good. But you’ll be delightfully surprised with this recipe. And if you’re watching your carbs, this Chicken with Lime Butter recipe is perfect to eat as a low carb dinner.
Lime juice is combined with pats of butter and herbs… to create a tangy, wonderful, buttery sauce to top the simply sauteed chicken. You’ll want to grab a straw and suck up that sauce~ it’s so good!
How to make the lime butter:
After sauteeing the chicken breasts, the juice from a large lime is squeezed into the hot skillet. That juice is heated until bubbly. Tablespoons of butter are slowly whisked in to create a creamy sauce. Fresh dill and fresh chives are stirred into the buttery sauce. And that sauce is spooned over the sauteed chicken. Perfection!
