I decided to whip up an extremely tasty garlic-chive buttery spread to finish off my roasted vegetables and grilled chicken. I mean seriously, this spread would go fantastic with anything. It just adds that extra bit of love to your dish without a lot of hassle of spending tons of time figuring how to make something truly taste better. I added fresh chopped garlic, chives and shallots to a ½ cup of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. I wanted to keep the dish smart while still getting the most flavor I could, so I Can't Believe It's Not Butter was a no brainer. Not only does it include plant-based good fats, but it's also incredibly tasty and provides such a rich creaminess to chicken and vegetables. I also seasoned it very well with salt and pepper since I did not season the vegetables, because I wanted this buttery spread to provide all of the flavor.

Coat the vegetables in a little bit of melted I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and in the oven they go to roast up! For the grilled chicken, remember to not cook it on the hottest part of the grill as the skin will cause lots of flames to shoot out and risk the chance to char up your chicken. It won't be good, trust me!
