The subtle heat of jalapeño combines with a cream base to form a sauce of pure divine flavor, tasty good for the succulent chicken. Not only that, we've got some crunchy good vegetables… not a raw plate with ranch dip, but zucchini topped with panko. The crunchy top turns vegetables into a party (and we thought they were pretty cool before).

If using sirloin steaks, follow same instructions as chicken in Steps 3 and 4, searing until browned, 2-3 minutes per side, then transferring to baking sheet and roasting until steaks reach minimum internal temperature, 7-9 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

Follow same instructions as chicken in Steps 3 and 4, searing, skin side up, until browned, 2-4 minutes, then transferring to baking sheet, seared side up, and roasting until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes.
