Description
A quick and comforting one-pan butter chicken skillet that’s rich in flavor, reminiscent of Texas Roadhouse, ready in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Optional: Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- Optional: Caramelized onions
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds. Add chicken broth and honey, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and sauce thickens.
- Add optional cheese and cover for 1-2 minutes until melted, then serve garnished with parsley.
Notes
Pat the chicken dry before seasoning for better browning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
