Creamy Dijon Butter Sauce

This sauce is rich, bright, and full of flavor—exactly what plain chicken or veggies need. One Challenge Butter Cube forms the base, then garlic, Dijon, a splash of lemon, and a generous pour of cream bring it all together. Drizzle it over chicken, pork, salmon, roasted veggies, or grain bowls.
