Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breast with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Grill or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ground Turkey

    In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salmon

    Season the salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Scramble the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Scramble in a pan over medium heat until fully cooked.

  5. 5

    Cook the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes. Sauté in a pan with olive oil over medium heat until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
