Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet is a rich, creamy, steakhouse-style chicken dish made with seared chicken breasts simmered in a buttery garlic Parmesan cream sauce.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add remaining butter and sauté onion for 3–4 minutes until soft.
  5. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up browned bits from pan.
  7. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened.
  8. Stir in remaining butter for extra richness if desired.
  9. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over top.
  10. Simmer on low 8–10 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  11. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts if preferred.
  • Let sauce simmer gently to avoid splitting the cream.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or bread for best results.
