Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet Bliss

This dish brings together that rich, buttery flavor you’d expect at a steakhouse, blended with tender chicken and a skillet full of creamy, garlicky goodness. It’s bold, savory, and totally unforgettable!

Ingredients
2 large boneless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons oil or butter for cooking
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
2. Heat oil or 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and sear until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in Parmesan and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Return chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat well in the sauce. Let it simmer for 2–3 more minutes.
6. Garnish with parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or warm rolls.

Tips & Notes
• For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• Make it extra hearty by adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the skillet.
• Leftovers? This reheats beautifully for lunch the next day.
