Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet Delightful Meal

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish
• 1 cup chopped broccoli florets
• 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa for serving

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and season it with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 7-8 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the softened butter, honey, and lemon juice. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture is combined, forming a smooth sauce.
3. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
4. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, along with the chopped broccoli. Stir to coat the chicken and broccoli with the buttery sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
5. Plate the rice or quinoa first, then top with a generous serving of the butter chicken and broccoli mixture.
6. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and freshness.
