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
  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel carrot, trim, and cut into sticks 3" long and 1/2" thick. Thinly slice Fresno chile on an angle. Combine 3/4 the mayonnaise (reserve remaining for slaw), Dijon, half the apple cider vinegar (reserve remaining for slaw), and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Refrigerate until ready to plate. Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry, and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  2. 2

    Make the Slaw

    Combine slaw mix, Fresno slices (to taste), remaining mayonnaise, remaining apple cider vinegar, half the honey (reserve remaining for carrots), and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Stir and refrigerate until ready to plate.

  3. 3

    Sear the Chicken

    Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place chicken in hot pan and cook undisturbed until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet, seared side up. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Finish the Chicken

    Place baking sheet in oven. Bake until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees and chicken is golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest at least 5 minutes. While chicken bakes, cook carrots.

  5. 5

    Cook the Carrots

    Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in pan used to sear chicken over medium heat. Add carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-7 minutes. Add remaining honey and 1 Tbsp. water to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until honey begins to bubble and glazes carrots, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove pan from burner and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Place a serving of slaw and carrots on a plate. Add a pool of white BBQ sauce to plate and place chicken in sauce.
