You look up and suddenly it’s almost 5 pm and I realize my family may want to eat dinner. With nothing planned, panic sets in. I have plenty of butter, garlic, and chicken on hand but that doesn’t necessarily make a dinner. Or does it? Introducing Baked Garlic Butter Chicken, not to be confused with Butter Chicken!
Paired with any of your favourite sides, these 3 simple ingredients turn into a delicious Baked Garlic Butter Chicken in a real hurry! You can also use any of the butter & garlic mixture on top of steamed veggies for some extra flavour!
From stove to table in 40 minutes, those busy nights when the kids need to be fed again and you’re looking for a semi-healthy option, this is a must! It’s one of our go-to meals and all the extra garlic will be sure to help keep both the colds and vampires away! You’re welcome!

I remember talking to you about this recipe and how much a hit it was. Now I’m hungy (thanks a lot lol) and wanting to add this to my meal plan for next week!
I doubt there is a better combo than butter and garlic. Am I right?
And now I’m hungry. Thanks a lot, Janette! But yes, I love garlic. So much garlic.
Well, you had me at garlic. I’m a serious garlic lover and love it in most of my dinner entrees.
Yummy! Pinned this for later. I’m always on the hunt for quick dinners. Seems like dinner sneaks up on me every day ?
