Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Unsalted butter
  • Fresh minced garlic
  • Low-sodium chicken broth
  • Heavy cream
  • Paprika
  • Onion powder
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. This helps them cook evenly and quickly.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Allow it to get nice and bubbly.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn!
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. 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.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat, and stir in the remaining butter until it melts and creates a glossy sauce.
  8. 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.
