Creating the Irresistible Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet is a hassle-free process when you follow these simple steps:
1. Heat the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Onions and Garlic: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
4. Incorporate the Peppers: Add the diced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
5. Spice It Up: Sprinkle in the paprika, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly.
6. Pour in Cream: Gently pour the heavy cream over the mixture. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to marry.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
9. Prepare the Base: Serve the chicken skillet over cooked rice or quinoa.
