Description

This Butter Chicken Skillet Texas Roadhouse Style is a comforting one-pan dish that combines tender, juicy chicken breasts or thighs with a rich, buttery sauce infused with garlic, onion, and paprika. Perfect for a quick and flavorful Southern-inspired meal, this recipe is both simple and satisfying.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to ensure a flavorful crust.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and combine with the oil before adding the chicken.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts or thighs to the skillet. Sear each side for 5 to 6 minutes until they develop a golden-brown crust and are fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Make the Sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and chicken broth to the skillet. Scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan to incorporate flavor. Let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced. Stir in lemon juice if desired for a subtle tang.
  5. Combine and Finish: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Spoon the buttery sauce over the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately while hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for a juicier result.
  • Lemon juice is optional but adds a nice brightness to the dish.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely to 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
