How to Make Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet
Creating the Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet at home is easy and incredibly rewarding. Follow these simple steps:
- Prepare the Chicken: Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika for an extra depth of flavor. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until it reaches a golden brown color on both sides. This should take about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt a generous amount of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook it for about a minute until it becomes aromatic. This garlic butter forms the base of the creamy sauce.
- Add the Cream: Now, add heavy cream to the skillet and stir it gently to combine with the butter and garlic. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes so that it thickens up nicely, becoming rich and velvety.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips and return them to the skillet. Stir them into the creamy sauce to ensure they are evenly coated. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish and Serve: To finish, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the dish as a garnish. The cilantro adds a pop of color and freshness, cutting through the richness of the butter sauce. Serve the Butter Chicken Skillet with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes or rice.
