Texas Roadhouse-Inspired Butter Chicken Skillet

Step 3: Make the Honey Butter Sauce

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium.
Add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard (if using), and chicken broth.
Simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the heavy cream and stir gently until a silky sauce forms.
Let the sauce simmer for another 2–3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

✅ Optional twist: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Step 4: Return the Chicken to the Skillet

Place the seared chicken back into the skillet. Spoon the sauce over each piece and let everything simmer together for 3–5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish. Serve hot, straight from the skillet for that Texas Roadhouse-style presentation.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

Side Dish: Garlic mashed potatoes, buttered corn, or roasted vegetables.
Bread: Warm dinner rolls or Texas toast to mop up the sauce.
Drink Pairing: Iced tea, lemonade, or a smooth bourbon cocktail for a Southern twist.

Low-Carb/Keto: Replace honey with a keto-friendly syrup and skip the flour if using.
