How to Make Texas Roadhouse Butter Chicken Skillet Step by Step

Step 1: Season the Chicken

Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Butter Sauce

Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4: Add Honey

Stir in the honey and let the sauce gently bubble for 1–2 minutes.

Step 5: Combine

Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the butter sauce over the top. Simmer for 2–3 minutes so the chicken absorbs the flavor.
