Easy Lime Skillet Chicken
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ¼ c healthy mayonnaise
- 2 Tb avocado oil divided use
- 2 limes
- 1 Tb coconut aminos
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1/16 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless

Instructions
- To begin, you'll zest half of one of the limes into a mixing bowl. Juice the lime into the bowl as well.
- Add the mayonnaise, a tablespoon of the avocado oil, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, coconut aminos, and cayenne pepper. Whisk those together until smooth.
- Nestle the chicken breasts down into the sauce, turning them over to coat them well.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours.
- When it is time to cook dinner, preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil in a large cast iron skillet (or other oven-safe skillet) over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and sear the meat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
- Slide the skillet into your oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the temperature on a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
- Allow the meat to rest a few minutes before serving.
- Cut the remaining lime into wedges and serve the chicken with a lime wedge to squeeze over it and garnish with the parsley or cilantro.
- Enjoy!
