I wish I could stick my hand through the monitor and give you a taste of this chicken and rice dish we made for dinner.  You would LOVE IT!  You’d also appreciate some smell-o-vision because this dish smells great too!  Our whole family has been working to eat better and exercise more.  Eating at home instead of fast food is working wonders so far.  I’m back in a pair of jeans that I haven’t been able to wear for a while.  YAY!  Alright.  No more waiting, I’ve got to tell you more about this recipe right now!

I went to Walmart with my youngest kiddo and we picked up this Star Butter Flavored Olive Oil to help add some super yummy flavor to our dinner.  It’s definitely the star of this recipe!  Walmart is currently the only store that offers it, so go there! 😉  I picked up my chicken at Publix.  I love shopping there.  The people are always so nice and I’m always able to find what I’m looking for.  I like that they offer to take your groceries to your car for you too.  I don’t always use that service because I’m trying to get those extra lifting exercise points in but I appreciate the offer!

Here’s where you want some smell-o-vision again.  This chicken smells fantastic!  We dredged the chicken in eggs and a coconut flour mixture and then fried it in the Star Butter Flavored Olive Oil.  One word: Amazing.  If you see in the photo on the left there is a very obvious absence of a piece of chicken.  Yep.  That was me, ruining the shot.  It was worth it.

We even added Star Butter Flavored Olive Oil to the water for boiling the rice, instead of butter.  It gave it a wonderful buttery flavor!

Is that super yum or what?  Answer: It’s super yum!  This is a must try!  Everyone in the family loved it, including the picky eaters.  The only sad thing about this recipe is that we didn’t have any leftovers, not a piece of chicken or a grain of rice.  That’s what I call a hit!

Happy Cooking!
