Description

Craving a rich, buttery, and savory chicken dish? The Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet is the perfect meal to indulge in. This recipe closely mimics the famous dish from the Texas Roadhouse restaurants, combining tender chicken breasts with a creamy, buttery sauce. It’s the ultimate comfort food for a busy weeknight or a special occasion. Simple ingredients, quick prep, and satisfying results—what’s not to love?

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

¼ cup unsalted butter

2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  • Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

  • Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

  • Prepare the Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the heavy cream and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

  • Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the butter sauce over the chicken. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the chicken is well-coated.

  • Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chicken with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Add Veggies: You can toss in bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra flavor.
  2. Spicy Twist: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the butter sauce for heat.
  3. Different Protein: Try chicken thighs for a juicier, more flavorful option.
  4. Low-Carb Option: Serve with steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative.
