A skillet dish featuring chicken in a creamy butter sauce, inspired by Texas Roadhouse flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup butter, unsalted
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

- Stir in garam masala, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Pour in tomato sauce and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
- Stir in butter until melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with rice or naan bread.
Notes
