Cook's Comments:

- we also dip the chicken in egg and coat in breadcrumbs before cooking them ... like it better that way!

Directions

• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reaches 170°; drain. Remove and keep warm.
• Add butter and lime juice to the skillet; cook and stir until butter is melted. Stir in dill and chives. Drizzle over chicken. Yield: 4 servings.

Cook's Comments:
- I never follow the recipe when I make this...I just get thin chicken breasts and then use whatever amount of the ingredients I think smells/looks good. I usually use more lime juice than it calls for and I have also experimented with dipping the chicken in egg first, and have also breaded it. All 3 ways are good, can never go wrong. I usually pair with a veggie and sometimes rice.
