  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

4 tablespoons butter, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Salt and cracked black pepper to taste

shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

caramelized onions for topping

Instructions

1-Getting started with Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken: Begin by seasoning your 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon paprika let that sit for a moment to soak in the flavors. Then, in a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and sear the chicken until it’s golden brown on both sides, which takes about 5-6 minutes per side; set it aside once done.

2-Next: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and toss in the 4 cloves of minced garlic, sautΓ©ing it just until it’s fragrant. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and 2 tablespoons of honey, giving the pan a good scrape to pick up those tasty browned bits. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and let everything simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit. For the finishing touch, you can top it with shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese or caramelized onions, cover briefly to melt the cheese, and garnish with 1 teaspoon of dried parsley before serving hot perhaps over mashed potatoes or green beans for a hearty meal.
