Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet

🥘 Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 2 teaspoons honey

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.

   • Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

2. Sear the Chicken:

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

   • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Butter Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

   • Add honey and chicken broth, stirring to combine.

   • Let the sauce simmer for 1–2 minutes.

4. Add Cream and Cheese:

   • Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese.

   • Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy (about 3–4 minutes).

5. Combine Chicken and Sauce:

   • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.

   • Spoon the creamy sauce over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated.

   • Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

6. Garnish and Serve:

   • Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top.

   • Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
