This Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet recipe features tender, juicy chicken breasts cooked in a rich buttery sauce infused with honey, garlic, and smoked paprika. It’s an easy one-pan meal that combines bold flavors and simple ingredients for a comforting and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Butter Sauce

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and set aside to infuse the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), ensuring they are fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
  3. Deglaze the Skillet: Pour the chicken broth into the same skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. This adds depth to the sauce.
  4. Make the Sauce: Stir the prepared butter mixture into the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them well with the buttery sauce. Let them simmer gently for 2-3 minutes so the chicken absorbs the rich flavors.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top of the chicken for a fresh, herbaceous finish and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • Check internal temperature of chicken with a meat thermometer to guarantee safety.
  • For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter sauce.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
