spicy garlic lemon chicken

i think this is one of the best chicken dishes i've made in a while.


3 - 3 ounce chicken breasts
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp dried thyme
2 garlic gloves minced
spray olive oil
spray butter
3 Tsbp lemon juice

Mix spices in a small bowl. Generously sprinkle both sides of chicken breast.
Spray olive oil & butter in a non-stick skillet. Add garlic & chicken and set to medium-high heat. Add lemon juice half way through cooking. Brown chicken until no pink is left inside. Add extra spray olive oil & butter if needed as cooking.

POINTS value: 3 points for 3 oz. chicken.


I served this over 1 cup of cous cous (3 points) & 1 cup of red beets (0 points). I also squirted a small amount of lemon juice over everythign for an extra punch.
The lemon can also be replaced with lime juice, if you prefer.
