Cajun BBQ Chicken 3 Ways

Slow Cooker Cajun BBQ Chicken 3 Ways

This post is sponsored by Tony Chachere’s, but all opinions are 100% my own.

Weeknight cooking can seem daunting when back to school rolls around and schedules get hectic. One of my favorite weeknight cooking hacks for busy times is to cook once and eat it multiple times throughout the week. To prevent my family from getting tired of a certain dish, I like to make multiple meals out of one recipe. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create this delicious Slow Cooker Cajun BBQ Chicken recipe that you can eat three different ways throughout the week. This recipe will quickly become one of your go-to weeknight meals that your whole family will love.

Grilled Flank Steak and Peach Salad with a Balsamic Dijon Vinaigrette

Flank steak is one of my favorite proteins to add to a salad and grilling it is my favorite method of preparation. I marinate flank steak with some balsamic vinegar and then grill it and add it with some of my favorite summer produce like peaches and corn and the combination is pretty epic! I would go as far as to say that this is hands down my new favorite summer salad. This salad is simple to make, healthy, and so delicious too. I can’t wait for you to try this grilled flank steak and peach salad with a balsamic dijon vinaigrette, it’s going to quickly become a new favorite around your house.
