Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet

Butter Chicken Bliss: Why You Need This Recipe in Your Life!

Okay, so quick question—do you ever just crave something so comforting it feels like a hug in a bowl? Like, you know those days when it’s freezing outside and all you want is something creamy and delicious? Yeah, me too. That’s when I whip up this Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet. Seriously, it’s like a warm blanket for your taste buds. 😍

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients:

Alright, here’s the deal. You’re gonna need:

– 2 chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces—so *important*)
– 3 tablespoons butter (because buttery goodness)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (for that perfect sizzle)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder (yum)
– 1 teaspoon onion powder (flavor town, here we come)
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (this stuff is a game changer!)
– 1/2 teaspoon salt (gotta season it right)
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (just the right kick)
– 1/2 cup chicken broth (liquid gold)
– 1/2 cup heavy cream (I mean, it’s a cream sauce, right?)
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (because cheese)
– Fresh parsley for garnish (makes it fancy-ish)

Honestly, just get everything ready on the counter, and you’ll feel like a pro chef in no time. I swear, if you can chop stuff and turn on a stove, you’re golden.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly:

So, here’s a little story for ya. The first time I made this was on a night when I was supposed to go out but ended up in my PJs, binge-watching *Friends* instead. I thought, “Why not treat myself?” 🤷‍♀️ I had all the stuff in my fridge, and it just kinda came together. The smell of that chicken cooking? OMG. My roommate popped her head in and was like, “What are you making? It smells SO GOOD!”

Long story short, we both dove into that skillet and devoured it in like, 10 minutes flat. I felt like a culinary genius, and now it’s on the regular rotation—like, the comfort food MVP of my life.

The One Trick That Changes Everything:

Okay, listen up—when you’re cooking the chicken, let it hang out until it’s *golden brown*. Like, don’t rush it. Seriously, don’t be the person who flips it too soon. You want that crispy edge. Trust me, it makes all the difference.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips):

1. DON’T skip the chicken broth. It’s the secret sauce (literally).
2. Use a non-stick skillet. You’ll thank me later when cleanup is easy peasy.
3. Taste as you go! If it needs more salt, add it! Your taste buds know best.
4. Keep an eye on the cream sauce. If it thickens too much, add a splash of broth to loosen it up.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them):

Honestly, if there are leftovers (which is rare because this stuff is like magic), just pop it in an airtight container and refrigerate. It’ll last about 3 days. Just reheat it gently on the stove—or microwave if you’re feeling lazy (no shame). Just don’t let it boil, okay? We want it creamy, not a curdled mess. Ugh.
