Epicure's Sweet Garlic Chicken

Inspired by Epicure: Shop Here

Thursday nights tend to be busy in our house—and last night was no exception. My son decided to stay at a friend’s house after school and then head straight to hockey from there, which meant there really wasn’t much point in cooking a big, full-on family meal at home. With just me and the hubby around for dinner, I wanted something easy, comforting, and still aligned with our healthy goals.

Even though this is a dish we all love, it comes together so quickly and effortlessly that it made perfect sense to whip it up anyway. Minimal prep, minimal cleanup, and maximum flavor—honestly, that’s exactly what a busy weeknight calls for.

If you’re looking for Canadian-made, delicious meal solutions, Epicure has been my go-to for years. Their products make it so easy to get a great meal on the table without overthinking it, which I truly appreciate on nights like these.
