Southwestern Chicken with Rice and Vegetables



Here is a low carb, delicious delight for a quick meal!

This quick and easy recipe is done on the stove top. When making 5-6 chicken breasts, combine in a small bowl:

6 teaspoons garlic powder
3 teaspoons chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
4 tablespoons of lime juice

Roll chicken breast in this combined mixture, coating all sides well.

In a large skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, brown the chicken on both sides. Drizzle 4 tablespoons of lime juice over the chicken as it is cooking. Lower heat to medium low and cover chicken. Cook 7-8 minutes longer or until the chicken juices run clear.




Serve with brown rice, your choice of vegetable and a salad. It’s a tasty delight low in calories and the only carbs will be the rice
