↪️1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks

↪️2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks

↪️1 onion, peeled and cut into large chunks

↪️2 celery stalks, cut into chunks (optional)

↪️1 cup beef broth

↪️1 tablespoon cornstarch


🔹️🔹️Seasoning Mix:

↪️2 tbsp steak seasoning (store-bought with peppercorns, garlic, paprika, parsley & salt)

↪️1 tbsp kosher salt

↪️1 tbsp dried ththyme

↪️1 tbsp dried rosemary


👉Directions:

✅️1. Make the Seasoning Mix:

◾️In a small bowl, mix together the steak seasoning, kosher salt, thyme, and rosemary. Set aside.


✅️2. Prepare the Roast:

◾️Rub both sides of the chuck roast with olive oil, then season generously with 1/3 of the seasoning mix on each side.

◾️Sear the roast in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned. Transfer it to the slow cooker.


✅️3. Prepare the Vegetables:

◾️In a large bowl, toss the carrots, potatoes, onion, and celery with a drizzle of olive oil and the remaining seasoning mix.

◾️Sauté the vegetables in the same skillet for about 5 minutes to give them a nice golden edge and extra flavor.


✅️4. Cook in the Slow Cooker:

◾️Place the sautéed vegetables over the roast in the slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth.

◾️Cover and cook on LOW for 9 hours or HIGH for 6 hours, until the meat is fall-apart tender.


✅️5. Make the Gravy:

◾️Once done, use a turkey baster or ladle to collect most of the cooking juices. Transfer them to a small saucepan.

◾️Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Mix the cornstarch with a little cold water, then whisk into the pan juices. Simmer until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.


✅️6. Serve:

▶️1. Searing Adds Flavor: Don’t skip the searing step — it locks in juices and creates that rich, savory crust.

▶️2. Cut Veggies Large: Big chunks help prevent the vegetables from turning mushy after long cooking.

▶️3. Use Yukon Gold Potatoes: They hold their shape better than russets in the slow cooker.

▶️4. Make Ahead: You can prep everything the night before and store it (covered) in the fridge, then start cooking in the morning!

Savory Cajun Chicken with Creamy Parmesan Pasta Linguine 🍗🍝


👉Ingredients:

- 8 oz linguine pasta

- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


👉Instructions:


✅️1. Begin by cooking the linguine pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and add the linguine. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a little pasta water for later, and set aside.


✅️2. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chicken. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Press the seasoning into the chicken so it adheres well.


✅️3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color. An internal temperature of 165°F is what you’re aiming for. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.


✅️4. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.


✅️5. Next, pour in the heavy cream, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor. Allow the cream to come to a gentle simmer.


✅️6. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can stir in a bit of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.


✅️7. Once the sauce has thickened, add in the halved cherry tomatoes. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened.


✅️8. Finally, add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing it gently to coat all the pasta in the creamy sauce. 


✅️9. Serve the linguine topped with the sliced Cajun chicken. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for that extra touch, and enjoy your flavorful, creamy dish!


🔹️This dish brings the heat and richness, making it a delightful meal that’s sure to please anyone at the table. Whether it's a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this Savory Cajun Chicken with Creamy Parmesan Pasta Linguine is bound to impress!
