1

In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, thyme, parsley, paprika, and onion powder. Generously sprinkle the spice mix over both sides of the chicken breasts.
2

In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Sauté the chicken until golden brown, about 6 minutes per side. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons garlic powder and the lime juice, then cook 5 minutes more, stirring often to coat evenly with the cooking juices.
