Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter , softened
2 tsp honey
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Optional Add-Ins:
1 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Cooked rice or mashed potatoes , for serving

Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken
Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces or thin strips for faster cooking and easier serving. Season generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the Chicken
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5–7 minutes . Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Pro Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure proper browning.

3. Make the Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the softened butter. Stir continuously until melted, then whisk in the honey and garlic powder. Cook for 1–2 minutes , allowing the mixture to develop a rich aroma.

4. Combine Everything
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the butter sauce. Stir gently to coat each piece evenly. If using optional veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms, add them now and cook for an additional 3–5 minutes , or until the vegetables are tender.

5. Finish and Serve
Once the chicken is fully coated in the sauce and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately over cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or on their own for maximum indulgence.

Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
