Creating the Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet is simple. Follow these steps to bring this delightful meal to your table:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cleaning the chicken breasts and patting them dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
4. Add Spices: Sprinkle in the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir for about a minute to let the spices bloom.
5. Pour in the Cream: Slowly add the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the sautéed onions and spices. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Return the Chicken: Nestle the browned chicken back into the skillet, coating it generously with the creamy sauce. Let it simmer together for an additional 5 minutes for the flavors to meld.
7. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the chicken. Cover the skillet and allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Following these steps will ensure that your Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet is rich, creamy, and flavorful!
