A simple recipe for making a skillet version of the popular butter chicken dish, similar to Texas Roadhouse style.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic, ginger, cumin, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and butter until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  8. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Serve this skillet dish over rice or with warm bread for dipping.
  • For a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes at the end.
