Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

got this recipe from MaryEllen's Blog. It was soo good. I know that because my husband actually ate seconds. The stuff he doesn't like he barely finishes his first plate.

Ingredients 1/4 c tequila
3-4 boneless chicken breasts, pounded out just a bit
Spices: Kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, dried parsley, dried cilantro, paprika
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 14.5 can low sodium chicken broth
Juice from 1 lime (next time I'll use more)
Handful of chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp butter
Olive oil
Directions

Coat chicken in the dry spices - I simply shook the spices right onto the chicken from the spice jars and then rubbed them all in. I don't measure, but it was probably about 3 shakes from each bottle per side of chicken.
Heat about 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan.
Add chicken and cook on medium high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side. The chicken will turn a beautiful golden brown color. If the chicken is not cooked all the way through, lower your heat and continue to cook, or transfer it to the oven to finish (covered).
Remove chicken from the pan and add another tbsp of olive oil.
Add garlic, saute
Deglaze pan with the tequila.
Add chicken broth and lime juice; bring to a boil.
Add parsley.
Whisk in butter to thicken the sauce up a bit
Serve chicken over pasta; top with the sauce.
The only thing I changed was I added some romano cheese to the sauce right before pouring it over the chicken (maybe 1/4 cup) Then I topped the chicken with a little more cheese.
