How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into how to make this mouthwatering Butter Chicken Skillet. It’s easier than you think, and the best part? It’s all made in one pan!

In a small mixing bowl, combine butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temp should be 165°F). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Stir in the butter mixture and cook until smooth.
Return chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with parsley and serve.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are a few tips to make sure your Butter Chicken Skillet turns out absolutely delicious:

Use high-quality butter for the best flavor.
Don’t skip the step of deglazing the pan—it adds tons of flavor to the sauce.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to keep it juicy.
Customize the recipe by adding your favorite veggies (like bell peppers or zucchini) to the skillet.

How to Serve

This skillet is a complete meal on its own, but it’s also great served with some crusty bread or over mashed potatoes. For a balanced meal, try pairing it with a simple green salad or roasted veggies. It’s also a fantastic option for easy pasta recipes if you toss the sauce with some noodles!

Make Ahead and Storage

One of the best things about this recipe is how well it holds up for leftovers. You can prepare the chicken and sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through. For a quick family dinner, this is a lifesaver!
