Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using chicken breasts, pat dry and cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side. If using filets mignon or NY strip steak, pat dry and cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium well. Rest, 3 minutes. If using salmon, pat dry and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. Add to salad as desired.
