Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk chicken rub ingredients together and rub evenly all over chicken breasts. Time permitting, allow chicken to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 8 hours then bring to room temperature before cooking.
When chicken has come to room temp and you're ready to cook ...
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Once very hot, add chicken and cook, undisturbed for 3-5 minutes, or until nicely browned (or blackened if you prefer) on one side. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 5-7 more minutes (depending on the thickness of your chicken), or until chicken is cooked through. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with some extra lime juice if desired.
