Garlic Lime Chicken

OMG this recipe is such a family pleaser. So good, and S-I-M-P-L-E. It is modified from a recipe found at Saving Dinner (have I mentioned how much I LOVE that site?!)

Garlic Lime Chicken

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over med high heat in a large skillet. Sprinkle chicken pieces (any type you want) with salt and pepper, followed by paprika and garlic powder. (I can't be bothered to measure and mix, I just sprinkle it right on the chicken-just be careful!) Place chicken pieces in oil and brown about 3 minutes on each side. Turn heat down to medium low. Use a fork to completely squeeze out all of the juice of a lime on top of the chicken. (one lime will do well for up to 8 pieces of chicken) Put a lid on the pan and continue to cook until no longer pink in center. (time will vary depending on what type of chicken you use-BLSL about 10 minutes, bone in pieces 15-20) Check the pan every few minutes and add some liquid (water or chicken broth) if it starts to get dry.

Delicious served with tortillas, rice, corn, and beans El Pollo Loco style :)
