Step-by-Step Instructions for Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet
  1. Season the chicken generously with salt, cracked black pepper, and paprika. Let it rest while heating the skillet.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter, then sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and honey, scraping the skillet.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, reduce heat, and let it simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes.
  5. If desired, sprinkle cheese on top of the chicken, cover briefly until melted.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with sides like garlic mashed potatoes.
