Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet: Bold Flavor Meets Southern Comfort
Craving something hearty, buttery, and downright irresistible? Meet your new favorite skillet dish: Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet. Inspired by the bold, comforting flavors you’d expect from a Texas steakhouse, this dish takes juicy, seared chicken breasts and bathes them in a rich, seasoned butter sauce — all cooked in one skillet for maximum flavor and minimal cleanup.
It’s southern comfort food with a bold, restaurant-style flair, perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner or crowd-pleasing weekend meal.
What Makes This Dish Special?
The secret is in the butter — but not just any butter. This recipe uses a seasoned blend of garlic, paprika, herbs, and a touch of honey or brown sugar to create a sauce that’s savory, slightly sweet, and packed with depth. The chicken is pan-seared until golden, then simmered gently in the butter mixture to soak up every ounce of flavor.
It’s like something straight off the menu at Texas Roadhouse — hearty, indulgent, and perfect with classic sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or a crusty roll to mop up the sauce.
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Chicken:
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
Salt and pepper
Garlic powder and smoked paprika
Olive oil or butter (for searing)
For the Butter Sauce:
Unsalted butter
Fresh garlic, minced
Paprika
Onion powder
Brown sugar or honey (for a hint of sweetness)
Worcestershire sauce
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Optional: a splash of lemon juice or hot sauce for balance
How to Make It
Season the chicken: Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Sear to perfection: Heat oil or butter in a skillet and cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Make the butter sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter and add garlic, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and onion powder. Stir and let it bubble for a minute to intensify the flavors.
Simmer and serve: Return the chicken to the pan, spoon the sauce over the top, cover, and simmer gently for 5–10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and juicy.
Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or green onions before serving.
