I was excited to try STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil! STAR has a huge line of olive oils, vinegar, and more. I’ve tried their olive oil so trying the STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil really intrigued me. STAR’s website says that you can “substitute Butter Flavored Olive Oil for butter in recipes for baked goods, seafood, pasta, rice and mashed potatoes.” I couldn’t wait to try it!
I headed to Walmart and found the STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil on the top shelf where all of the olive oils and baking oils are found. I also noticed that STAR has a huge selection of olive oils to choose from in addition to the butter flavored oil! Go HERE to learn more about Star Olive Oils.

Once I returned home, I knew that I wanted to make Sauteed Vegetables with Breaded Paprika Chicken using my STAR Butter flavored Olive Oil. We always have lots of veggies in our coop bin and I thought that using some of the veggies with the oil might go well together. I decided to top the sautéed vegetables with chicken that I breaded with flour, paprika, salt & pepper and sautéed in the oil. Everything turned out amazing! I’ve sautéed vegetables countless times before. But this time was unlike prior meals. The vegetables had a slight buttery flavor that went perfectly with the breaded chicken. If you didn’t know that I used STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil, you would have thought that I sautéed the vegetables in butter. They were so good. Below are the instructions and recipe.
I gathered the ingredients for the breaded chicken and placed a large sauté pan on my stove-top in preparation. Below is a picture of the finished product – yummo!
Breaded Paprika Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
• 1/3 cup Flour
• 1.5 t Paprika
• 1 t Salt
• Dash Pepper
• 1 lbs Boneless, Skinless, Chicken Breast cut in pieces
• 2 T STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil
Instructions
1) In plastic bag combine flour, paprika, salt and pepper.
2) Add a few pieces of chicken to the bag at a time. Coat the chicken.
3) Brown chicken on both sides in a large skillet with STAR Butter flavored Olive Oil. Only use enough oil to coat pan and prevent sticking.
4) Transfer browned chicken to plate with paper towels on it to drain excess oil. Reserve drippings in pan.
For the sautéed vegetables, I ransacked my fridge and took out an assortment of vegetables. If you are making this dish, you do not need to use the same veggies I used. If you prefer carrots, cauliflower, no pepper, etc etc, that is totally fine!
