From the chef:

This dish can be made with any type of protein. If you are looking to use fish instead of chicken, be sure to marinate your fish no longer than 20 minutes. If you are a vegetarian, tofu is an excellent substitute!

From the doctor:

Add more nutrients into your dish by adding dark leafy greens, like kale or spinach. You can add them raw as a topping or while cooking your protein.
