Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken Breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Optional Vegetables
- 1 cup Bell Peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup Onions, sliced
- 1 cup Spinach
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and pepper for extra flavor. This ensures that every piece is well-seasoned and ready to absorb the delicious sauce.
- Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt some butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken and cook until it’s golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. This step locks in moisture and flavor.
- Add Garlic: Next, add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it, as burnt garlic can turn bitter.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken and develop flavors. The creamy sauce is what makes this dish a true comfort food.
- Finish with Butter: Stir in a generous amount of butter until melted and well incorporated. This step adds that signature richness that the Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet is known for.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is cooked and the sauce has thickened, serve the dish hot. You can garnish with fresh herbs or extra spices for a pop of color and flavor.
Notes
- Use Quality Ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste.
- Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Aim for juicy chicken; overcooking can lead to dryness.
- Experiment with Spices: Don’t be afraid to adjust the spices to suit your taste.
- Double the Sauce: If you love a saucy dish, consider doubling the sauce ingredients.
- Add Veggies Early: If using vegetables, add them with the chicken to ensure they are tender.
