Chicken and Sauce Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for cooking
  • 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
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth for deglazing
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Cooking

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temp should be 165°F). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Stir in the butter mixture and cook until smooth.
  • Return chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Leftover Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm it on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed to maintain moisture. For even juicier chicken, consider marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and your favorite herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
