Cooking Steps
• Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season all over with Steak Spice, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly. • Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
• While chicken cooks, wash and dry produce. • Halve, core, and thinly slice pear.
• Add spinach and dressing to a large bowl; toss to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. • Add pear, cranberries, pecans, croutons, and feta to bowl with spinach; toss to combine. TIP: Add a drizzle of olive oil if salad seems dry.
• Slice chicken crosswise. • Divide salad between bowls. Top with chicken and serve.
Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Substituted the chicken for salmon, which was delicious with the spice blend. Pear and salmon were an interesting combination, would be curious to try it with chicken. But the pear with the feta was fantastic. The pecans added a nice crunch and good earthy flavor-didn't feel the croutons added anything to the dish. Paired with garlic bread, this was a quick, easy and tasty weeknight dinner.
Wonderfully easy to prepare with the salmon. Seasoned salmon with steak seasoning and cooked in air fryer. Hubby accidentally tossed the second packet of steak seasoning into the salad with the dressing and it was surprisingly delicious!
Salmon tasted fresh but pear was too green(not ripe), but pears can be tricky that way
Fresh and easy meal, I think it was a nice combination of flavors I don't normally put together.
Made salmon as separate dish, salad as separate dish. Both delicious on their own
I didn't get a card telling me how to cook the salmon.
