If using chicken breasts, pat dry and season both sides with fajita seasoning and a pinch of salt. Follow same instructions as salmon in Step 1, cooking until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

If using NY strip steaks, pat dry and season both sides with fajita seasoning and a pinch of salt.
