    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depending on desired degree of heat)
    1/8 teaspoon paprika
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

    1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast cut in strips (or use chicken tenders)
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    3 tablespoons lime juice


Directions

In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and parsley. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on all sides of chicken breasts or chicken tenders.
