Customize It Instructions

  • If using 20 oz. diced chicken, follow same instructions as 10 oz. diced chicken, working in batches if necessary.

  • If using ground turkey, follow same instructions as diced chicken in Step 1, breaking up turkey until no pink remains and turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 7-9 minutes.

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Pat chicken dry, and season all over with a pinch of salt.

    Add chicken to hot pan and stir occasionally until chicken browns and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    While chicken cooks, prepare ingredients.
