Customize It Instructions

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Follow same instructions.

  1. 1

    Crisp Bacon and Make Bacon-Cheddar Topping

    Line a microwave-safe plate with a paper towel.

    Spread bacon evenly on towel-lined plate.

    Microwave until crisp, 30-60 seconds.

    Carefully remove from microwave.

    In a mixing bowl, combine half the crispy bacon (reserve remaining for garnish), softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside. Kids want to help? With supervision, have them help prepare the topping.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken and Corn

    In one provided tray, combine corn, Cajun seasoning (to taste), and a pinch of salt. Kids not a fan of extra heat? Feel free to skip/reduce the Cajun seasoning.

    Top with butter and cover tray with foil.

    Pat chicken dry. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

    Place chicken in second provided tray. Evenly top with bacon-cheddar topping.

  3. 3

    Bake Meal and Heat Mashed Potatoes

    Bake both trays (chicken uncovered, corn covered) in hot oven until corn is heated through and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 18-22 minutes.

    Cutlet thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner cutlet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

    While meal bakes, in a microwave-safe bowl, add mashed potatoes, creme fraiche, and garlic salt. Vigorously stir to combine. Microwave uncovered until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

    Carefully remove from microwave. Vigorously stir to combine. Set aside.

    Carefully remove both trays from oven.

    To serve, top chicken with remaining bacon. Bon appétit!
