Before You Cook

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 sirloin steaks, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim green beans, if necessary, and cut into 1" pieces.

    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with garlic and parsley seasoning, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Green Beans

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add green beans to hot pan and stir occasionally, 1 minute.

    Add 1/4 cup water, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cover and cook until tender, 6-8 minutes.

    If green beans need more time, add 2 Tbsp. water, cover, and stir occasionally, 1-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Add pesto and stir until green beans are coated.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Place a small non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add bacon to hot pan and stir occasionally until crisp, 1-2 minutes.

    Add minced garlic and lemon basil, 1/4 cup water, cream cheese, and half the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for garnish). Stir vigorously to combine and bring to a simmer.

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

    If sauce is too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.
