Customize It Instructions

  • If using chicken breasts, pat dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side. Add to salad as desired.

  • If using filets mignon, pat dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tsp. olive oil and cook until steaks reach minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. Add to salad as desired.

  • If using NY strip steak, pat dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Cook until steaks reach minimum internal temperature, 7-10 minutes per side. Halve to serve. Add to salad as desired.

  • If using mahi-mahi, pat dry, halve, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Cook until mahi-mahi reaches desired doneness (medium-rare to well-done), 2-4 minutes per side for medium. Consuming raw or undercooked mahi-mahi may increase your risk for food-borne illness.
