Sarah's Top Tips for the Week
- Double the soup. Bone-in chicken soup freezes beautifully. Stash a few portions for easy lunches.
- Weeknight win. The teriyaki chicken sauce also works great with shrimp or beef if you want to switch it up midweek.
- Slow cooker shortcut. BBQ chicken can also be used for sandwiches, salads, or quesadillas later in the week.
- Weekend comfort. Braised short ribs are the perfect Sunday dinner - serve over mashed potatoes or creamy polenta.
