Step-by-Step Instructions for Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1/4 cup of honey, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1.5 pounds of chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and let it rest.
  3. Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the skillet, scraping browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for about 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the prepared butter mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with rice, salad, or bread.
