I cook with olive oil every day. I add it to almost all my recipes. The hubby has even commented on the lack of butter in our refrigerator. Hey- there are very few things that I can’t cook with olive oil. But for the past week I’ve been a tad on the sneaky side, and the hubby has no idea. I’ve been adding STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil to my recipes. Olive oil, in a butter flavor? Yep, it’s my little cooking secret.
I’ve brought out my slow cooker quite a bit here lately, and one of our new family favorites is Chicken Alfredo Soup. I swapped my normal olive oil with STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil (yes, you can even use olive oil in a slow cooker!). This soup is a great winter comfort food, and with the cold weather setting in, my slow cooker will be putting in some overtime with this easy recipe.
This Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo Soup uses my cooking philosophy of utilizing a combination of pre-made ingredients and fresh ingredients to make a homecooked meal in a blink!
- Star Butter Flavored Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 small green pepper, diced
- 1 small yellow pepper, diced
- 1 can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 box or bag of frozen vegetables
- 1 jar of alfredo sauce
- 5 frozen chicken tender pieces (uncooked, unbreaded)
- Dash of basil, optional
- Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of the olive oil in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add all ingredients to the slow cooker EXCEPT for the chicken.
- Combine the ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Add frozen chicken and cover the tenders with the other slow cooker ingredients.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours.

There are lots of reasons why I use olive oil in cooking, but the main advantage for my family is that it is cholesterol and carbohydrate free. STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil is specifically designed to allow for the taste of butter with the health benefits of olive oil. The STAR website provides a neat conversion chart so that cooks can use the product easily in baking.
Want to try Star Butter Flavored Olive Oil for yourself? STAR Fine Foods is having a giveaway on their Facebook page. 10 fans will win a bottle of the olive oil! Of course, if you can’t wait, STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil can always be found at Walmart in the oil section where I found mine!
