Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet

This quick and flavorful chicken dish features tender chicken breasts coated in a rich, buttery garlic sauce with a hint of honey and smoked paprika. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or special occasion!

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 tsp honey

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for added flavor)

1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken:

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.

Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if using.

Sear the Chicken:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side until golden brown.

Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes on the other side, ensuring the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C).

Make the Butter Sauce:

While the chicken is cooking, mix the softened butter with honey in a small bowl.

Once the chicken is fully cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the butter-honey mixture to the skillet.

Spoon the melted butter sauce over the chicken, letting it coat evenly for about 1-2 minutes.

Serve:

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.

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