Creating Easy Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to bubble slightly.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
4. Sauté Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, ensuring not to burn the garlic.
5. Add Cream: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir everything together, heating for an additional 3-5 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly.
6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper for a spicier kick.
7. Serve: Once everything is perfectly blended, remove from heat.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh finish.
9. Pair: Serve the chicken over cooked rice or pasta, allowing the rich sauce to soak in.
