Texas Roadhouse Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tbsp minced garlic

• 1 tbsp honey

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

• Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
• Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
• Once marinated, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade.
• Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
• Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

This Texas Roadhouse Chicken pairs perfectly with a variety of sides. For an authentic restaurant-style meal, serve it with seasoned rice and steamed vegetables. You can also slice the chicken over a fresh garden salad or tuck it into warm buns for hearty grilled chicken sandwiches. Add a drizzle of honey mustard or a side of ranch for that signature Texas Roadhouse touch.

Savings Suggestions

Recreating Texas Roadhouse dishes at home doesn’t just satisfy your cravings—it saves you money, too. Instead of spending on restaurant prices, buy chicken breasts in bulk and freeze extras for later use. Opt for store-brand spices and make your own marinades using everyday ingredients like soy sauce, garlic powder, and brown sugar. You’ll cut down on costs without compromising flavor.
