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 Prepare the Ingredients
Core tomato and cut into ¼" dice. In a mixing bowl, combine tomato and pesto. Pat diced chicken dry and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
2 Cook the Chicken
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add diced chicken to hot pan and stir occasionally until chicken browns and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.
-
3 Make the Sauce
Add cream to pan and bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in cheese until incorporated. For best results, pierce brown rice bag a few times with a knife, then break up rice inside the bag. Add rice and stir to combine. Stir occasionally until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
