Ingredients
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.
