Garlic butter chicken is the kind of weeknight recipe people save because it looks simple enough to make after work and comforting enough to repeat. It starts with familiar ingredients, but the pan sauce makes it feel like a real dinner instead of a fallback.

In Cubby, this recipe works especially well because it can anchor a whole meal plan. Add rice, potatoes, salad, or a vegetable you already have, then let the grocery list show only what is missing. That is the difference between saving a good idea and actually cooking it.
