Shortcut Chicken Pozole Verde

Shortcut Chicken Pozole Verde

With a few shortcuts, I have created a recipe for chicken pozole verde that you can have on the table quick any night of the week.

Chicken pozole verde is a flavorful Mexican soup that my family loves and I created this easy weeknight version so that whenever the craving hits, I can cook it up fast.

Cajun Seafood Stew

Cajun Seafood Stew

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

Date nights that are spent at home happen to be my favorite. I love making a cozy and special meal with my husband that we can enjoy right in the comfort of our own home. Seafood is my husband’s favorite, so I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create the perfect date night meal for any couple to enjoy. Cajun seafood stew has a flavorful broth, white fish, shrimp, andouille sausage and of course the holy trinity made up of celery, onions, and bell pepper too. It’s easy enough to do any night of the week, but feels special enough to make for someone you love. This recipe for Cajun seafood stew is surely going to become a new date night favorite meal.
