1 tsp all purpose seasoning

½ tsp salt

½ tsp ground black pepper

Juice of 1 lime

3 – 4 tbsp cooking oil

1. Rinse chicken under running water. Pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound a little with a mallet to ensure even thickness
2. Place the breasts in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, all purpose seasoning and fresh green seasoning. Rub into the chicken.
