Description

Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet is a flavorful, easy-to-make dish that features tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich and creamy honey butter sauce infused with smoked paprika and garlic. This one-pan recipe offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, is naturally gluten-free, and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a comforting meal anytime.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Butter Sauce

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the butter sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and set aside.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Then remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Deglaze the skillet: Pour chicken broth into the same skillet to deglaze the pan, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom, which adds flavor to the sauce.
  4. Add the butter sauce: Stir in the prepared butter mixture into the skillet with the chicken broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the butter sauce. Let them simmer for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors fully.
  6. Finish and garnish: Remove the skillet from heat, garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • This dish is naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for people with gluten sensitivities.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
  • Using skinless, boneless chicken breasts helps keep the dish lean and prevents greasiness.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer it a few minutes longer before adding the chicken back to the pan.
