Instructions
Creating the Irresistible Texas Roadhouse Style Garlic Butter Chicken Skillet is simple. Just follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Herbs: Stir in the dried oregano and thyme, mixing well with the garlic.
6. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer for a couple of minutes.
7. Return the Chicken: Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet, spooning the garlic butter sauce over the top.
8. Simmer: Let everything simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes to soak up the flavors.
9. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
10. Serve: Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
