FAST & EASY - this is great for weeknights when you do NOT feel like cooking!!
Take 2 large (or 4 small) boneless, skinless chicken breasts & pound them until they're uniform in thickness.
Make a rub (this is up to you - don't be afraid to go BOLD): chili powder, cumin, cayenne, thyme, garlic powder, salt, freshly ground pepper - sprinkle over chicken & rub into meat. Set aside while pan's heating.
In a large pan, heat 4 T. olive oil & 1 T. butter until very hot (but not smoking!) - place the chicken in the pan & fry for several minutes - turn pcs. over and cook until they're done. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken - press into the thickest part of the chicken & if the juices run clear, it's done. Squeeze the juice of 3 limes over the chicken to deglaze pan, turn chicken over & swirl around in pan juices before serving. Season with salt & pepper.
No matter how I turned the plate, the chicken wound up looking like fish! ha! I suppose you could easily make this using fish too! :-)
