## Tips

- Let the chicken sit for about 5 minutes in the pan to form a beautiful blackened crust for insane flavor.
- When selecting a “blackened” or “Cajun” seasoning, find one where the first/primary ingredient is paprika and one that contains no salt.
- Cook pasta for approximately 80% of the time shown on the box.
- To reheat frozen portions, pop in the microwave with a splash of milk or broth.
