Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using pork medallions, follow same instructions as chicken in Step 1, cooking until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-5 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Medallion thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner medallion, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • If using whole pork tenderloin, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, slice into medallions, about 3/4"-thick. Follow same instructions as above.

  • If using ribeye, follow same instructions as chicken in Step 1, cooking until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Halve to serve.

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry, and season both sides with half the seasoning blend (reserve remaining for vegetables) and a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook undisturbed until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side, covering pan after flipping chicken.

    Remove chicken to a plate and tent with foil. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

    While chicken cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim zucchini ends and cut into 1/4" rounds on an angle.

    Divide butter into quarters.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add zucchini to hot pan and stir occasionally until browned, 4-5 minutes.

    Add corn, remaining seasoning blend, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Stir occasionally until vegetables are tender, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to cook chicken to medium-high heat. Add apple cider, honey, mustard, and demi-glace to hot pan and stir until combined. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in butter, one piece at a time, until melted and smooth.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, drizzling sauce over chicken, and garnishing vegetables with crispy onions. Bon appétit!
