Juicy skillet-seared chicken breasts are coated in a rich honey butter sauce for a creamy, savory dish reminiscent of Texas Roadhouse flavors.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if using.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for 5–6 minutes on one side until golden.
  3. Flip chicken and cook another 5–6 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. In a small bowl, mix softened butter with honey.
  5. Reduce heat to low, pour the butter-honey mixture over the chicken, and spoon it over for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat, sprinkle parsley on top, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Add cayenne or red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
  • Swap honey with lemon juice for a tangy twist.
  • Incorporate herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Mix in cream and Parmesan for a cheesy finish.
