Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet Bliss!
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
4 tbsp butter, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried parsley
Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
Optional: shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, for topping
Optional: caramelized onions, for extra richness
Instructions:
Season both sides of the chicken with salt, cracked black pepper, and paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the chicken and sear until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through—about 5–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the pan—this builds flavor.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over each piece. Simmer uncovered for 5–7 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the chicken.
If using cheese, sprinkle it over the chicken and cover the skillet briefly to melt.
Garnish with dried parsley and optional caramelized onions before serving.
