Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with the salt and pepper. If they are thick, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes until golden underneath, then flip and cook about 4 minutes more.

4. Check the thickest part with a thermometer. The chicken is done at 165°F (74°C); if not yet there, cook a little longer.

5. While the chicken cooks, melt the butter in a small pan over low heat, add the minced garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

6. Remove the butter from the heat and stir in the lime zest, lime juice and sriracha sauce.

7. Transfer the chicken to a plate, rest for 3 minutes, then spoon the sriracha lime butter over the top and serve.
