Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry and cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side. If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry and stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using filets mignon, pat dry and cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium well. Rest, 3 minutes. If using Impossible burger, break up until burger reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes. Add to pasta as desired.
