- Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. This helps them cook evenly and quickly.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Allow it to get nice and bubbly.
- Once the butter is melted, add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn!
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens. You can adjust the seasoning at this stage if needed.
- Remove the skillet from heat, and stir in the remaining butter until it melts and creates a glossy sauce.
- This butter chicken is delicious served over rice or with warm bread to soak up that creamy sauce. Enjoy!

Keywords: If you're making a larger quantity, consider cooking the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Feel free to add red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper for extra spice. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro right before serving can elevate the dish.
