Description
A delicious Texas Roadhouse-inspired butter chicken skillet that combines tender chicken with a creamy, flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Stir in the lemon juice and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes when seasoning the chicken.
- Serve the butter chicken over rice or with warm naan for a complete meal.
