"The vanilla in the olive oil in this recipe gives the chicken the perfect flavor when cooked ... and the rice is complimentary to say the least. Enjoy. (the recipe is only for one person ... you may multiply as needed)"

This is an unusual, yet exceptionally pleasant dish. I've used vanilla for steak already, but never with chicken. Definitely something I'll make again! I didn't use vanilla essence but real vanilla because that's what I had.<br/>Thanks for posting this keeper!<br/>Made for All You Can Eat.
