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 diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using Italian sausage, remove from casing, if necessary. Break up sausage until no pink remains and sausage reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 11-13 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Drain in a colander and set aside.

    While pasta cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut mushrooms into 1/4" slices.

    Peel and mince shallot.

    Pat chicken thighs dry and season all over with 1/4 tsp. pepper and half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for sauce). Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 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.

    Remove from burner. Transfer chicken to a plate. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Cook Vegetables and Start Sauce

    Return pan used to cook chicken to medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add mushrooms, shallots, and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, 4-6 minutes.

    Add flour and stir until no dry flour remains. Add cream base and 1/3 cup reserved pasta cooking water. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Finish Sauce, Add Pasta, and Finish Dish

    Once simmering, add chicken and any accumulated juices, remaining garlic salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, mushroom seasoning, pasta, cheese, and a pinch of salt to hot pan.

    Stir often until combined and sauce has slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    If sauce is too thick, add additional reserved pasta cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with crispy onions. Bon appétit!
