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 steak, follow same instructions as chicken, cooking until steak reaches a minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  1. 1

    Make the Topping

    Peel and mince shallot.

    Coarsely crush crispy onions.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tsp olive oil and half the shallot (reserve remaining for green beans) to hot pan and stir occasionally until tender, 3-4 minutes.

    Stir in cream cheese until melted and combined. Remove from burner. Remove topping to a plate and cover. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

    While chicken topping cooks, cook green beans.

  2. 2

    Cook the Green Beans

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add remaining shallot and green beans to hot pan and stir occasionally until tender, 8-10 minutes.

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

    Stir in butter, seasoning blend, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from burner and tent with foil.

    While green beans cook, cook chicken.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

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

    Return pan used to cook topping to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken breasts to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Finish Chicken and Finish Dish

    Remove pan with chicken from burner. Top chicken evenly with shallot-cream cheese mixture, then crispy onions and cheddar cheese. Cover, and let cheese melt, 2-3 minutes.

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