If you love the rich and flavorful butter that Texas Roadhouse is known for, you’ll love this Butter Chicken Skillet recipe. It’s easy to make, full of savory flavors, and perfect for a quick dinner. The buttery, slightly sweet glaze pairs wonderfully with the tender chicken.
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
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps them brown better when cooking.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat the Skillet:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Prepare the Butter Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the honey and garlic powder, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1-2 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
4. Coat the Chicken:
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the buttery mixture over the top of the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Let the chicken cook in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the butter to soak in and glaze the chicken.
5. Serve:
- Serve the chicken hot with the buttery sauce drizzled over the top. You can garnish with some fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired.
Tips for Success:
- Add Veggies: For a complete meal, you can sauté some vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or green beans in the same skillet after removing the chicken and before adding the butter sauce.
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with other seasonings such as paprika, onion powder, or dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to customize the flavor to your liking.
- Serving Suggestions: This chicken is delicious served with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side salad.
