Braised Chicken and an HEB Goodie Basket Review!

I feel like a little kid. 

This is the firs time anyone's ever sent me anything to review and do you know how exciting that is?! 

To receive this package was like Christmas morning! Especially with the pretty purple bow, I loved it!

HEB was very kind and sent me this huge goodie basket full of their Primo-Picks foods and I was very pleasantly surprised!

The basket included:

Bean and Fiesta Lime Rice Crackers

HEB Hibiscus Ginger Orange Bliss Tea

HEB Cafe Ole K-Cups

HEB Central Market Veggie Chips

Central Market Mango Salad Dressing

2 different kinds of Central Market Organic Chocolate Bars

Adam's Reserve Seafood and Salmon Rub

Green Valley Ranch Fig and Sweet Onion Glaze

Citrus Italian Sparkling Mineral Water

Pink and Red Orchid Nail Polish

Strawberries, Sesame Seeds, and Honey Sahale Snacks

Talk about a jackpot! 

I was very surprised too, there wasn't anything in there I didn't like.

I was a little hesitant about the rice crackers and veggie chips, but both were very good! In fact I would choose either of those over regular chips any day, not just for health reasons but for pure taste. And of course chocolate is a girls best friend so that was the first to go!

Oh and don't let me forget about the Sahale Snacks, i'd never had that before and now i'm hooked. That stuff is seriously good. Like I could eat a bag by myself good.

I made good use of the glaze as well with making these amazing Braised chicken thighs. This recipe is so simple, but packs a ton of flavor! A great meal anytime!

And once again I would like to thank HEB for sending me this very generous gift! There's a reason i've been shopping there all my life!
