Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp Kinloch Pecan Oil
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, season to taste with Slap Ya Mama Original Blend Seasoning
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp Slap Ya Mama Original Blend Seasoning
- 3 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered (about 3/4 lb)
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (about 8 oz)
- 1 medium onion, chopped

Directions:
In a bowl add chicken and season to taste with Slap Ya Mama Original Blend. Heat the pecan oil in a large, nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high, until hot. Add chicken and brown thoroughly until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
Reduce skillet heat to medium-low. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp and brown, about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and discard all but 1 Tbsp of the bacon fat.
With bacon fat still in the skillet, increase heat back to medium-high. Add Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, onion and 1 1/2 tsp Slap Ya Mama Original Blend. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and the onions are beginning to look translucent about 10 min.
Stir in the apples, garlic, thyme, and cinnamon. Cook 30 seconds, then pour 1/2 cup of broth and 1 tsp of Slap Ya Mama Low Sodium Blend. Bring to a boil and cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved chicken and remaining 1/2 cup broth. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in reserved bacon and serve warm. Enjoy!

Slap Ya Mama Ribeye Steaks with Cajun Butter
By Chris Grove at Nibble Me This
I’m a big believer in the fact that quality beef doesn’t need much more than salt, pepper, and a bit of fire to make a brilliantly tasty steak. But I’m also a believer in the truth that sometimes you have to shake things up a bit. These Ribeye Steaks with Cajun Butter fall into the latter category.
CAJUN BUTTER FOR STEAKS
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Butter Instructions
- Mix ingredients together with a fork or masher.
- Form into a log or scoop into 1″ balls.
- Place on steaks immediately upon removing from heat.
Steak Instructions
I patted the steaks dry with a paper towel. Then I lightly oiled them with some canola oil and seasoned them with Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning. As soon as the steaks come off of the grill, I immediately crown them with a scoop or two of the Cajun butter. Next as a side, I fire roasted some potatoes on my Grilla Grills pellet cooker. Lastly, I stuffed them with shredded cheese, butter, sour cream, chives, and some of our homemade bacon.
Man, oh man, were these steaks great. They were boldly seasoned, had a delicious crust, and the butter just amplifies the flavor.
