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, follow same instructions as chicken in Steps 1 and 3, cooking until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Stem, seed, remove ribs, and cut red bell pepper into 1/4" dice.

    Halve lime. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Coarsely chop cilantro (no need to stem).

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

  2. 2

    Make the Cilantro Butter

    In a mixing bowl, combine butter, half the cilantro (reserve remaining for vegetables), and red pepper flakes (to taste) until smooth. Set aside.

  3. 3

    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.

    Transfer chicken to a plate. Squeeze one lime wedge over each breast. You may have wedges left over.

    While chicken cooks, cook vegetables.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place another medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add red bell pepper and a pinch of salt to hot pan and cook undisturbed until starting to soften, 2-3 minutes.

    Add corn and stir occasionally until vegetables are tender, 2-3 minutes.

    Add seasoning blend and 2 Tbsp. water. Stir constantly to combine, 30 seconds.

    Remove from burner. Stir in sour cream, remaining cilantro, and 1 Tbsp. lime juice.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish
