Chili Lime Chicken

1-2# chicken breast meat

butter and olive oil

Trader Joe's Chili Lime Seasoning*

sour cream and water

Sauté the chicken - fast - in a cast iron pan, in very hot butter and oil. After turning the first time, season the chicken with the Chili Lime Seasoning.  Continue to turn, season and brown.  When the chicken is done, remove from the pan, then stir in a little sour cream and water in about a 1 / 1 ratio.  Stir with a wooden spoon, keeping the heat fairly high, to incorporate all the brown bits in the pan.  Pour this over the chicken when serving, as a browned sour cream gravy.  I garnished this with a few cloves of pickled garlic. . .Lin
