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 antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using top round steak, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 3-5 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 halve.

    Peel, trim, and cut carrot into 1/4" slices. If carrot is larger than 1" in diameter, halve before slicing.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Add green beans, carrots, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Cover and cook until water is almost completely evaporated, 4-6 minutes.

    Uncover and add zucchini. Stir occasionally until vegetables are tender, 4-6 minutes.

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

    Add pesto and stir often until vegetables are coated, 2-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While vegetables cook, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Make the Topping

    Line a microwave-safe plate with a paper towel. Evenly spread bacon on towel-lined plate.

    Microwave until crispy, 1-2 minutes.

    While bacon microwaves, in a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, garlic and parsley seasoning, half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for chicken), half the mozzarella (reserve remaining for chicken), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Carefully remove bacon from microwave. Stir bacon into mozzarella mixture until combined. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook Chicken and Finish Dish

    Pat chicken dry. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Place another large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Working in batches if necessary, add chicken to hot pan. Cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side.

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

    Evenly top chicken with topping, remaining Parmesan, and remaining mozzarella. Chicken will be hot! Use caution. Cover until cheeses are melted, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card. Bon appétit!
