Cajun Crack Chicken Pasta (Instant Pot) Cajun Crack Chicken Pasta (Instant Pot)
My twist on Instant Pot crack chicken. Cajuns like it spicy. Most recipes call for one packet, I used 2, so this dish packs a flavor punch. Feel free to omit parsley, or use dried. Experiment with different ranch flavors. IP 8qt Ultra :Update - I found 2 packs spicy was a bit much so recipe changed to 1 pack spicy, 1 pack regular ranch. Came out perfect.

Instant pot boiled Cajun Peanuts Instant pot boiled Cajun Peanuts
Found recipes on YouTube and made some changes... I will never buy canned peanuts again lol. Wow these turned out amazing 😉 and so easy and way cheaper to just make them.... use lots of salt if you like salty peanuts lol and lots of seasoning. I used two lbs of peanuts and half the bottle of that seasoning and lots of salt, for my heat add some hot sauce, and cut jalapeños to them ...
