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

    Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Coarsely crush crispy beets.

    Coarsely crush almonds.

    Combine almonds and crispy beets in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

    Pat chicken breasts dry, and season with a pinch of onion salt (reserve remaining for risotto).

  2. 2

    Start the Risotto

    Place another medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add rice, white portions of green onions, and remaining onion salt to hot pot. Stir occasionally until rice is toasted and opaque, 1-2 minutes.

    Add 1 cup boiling water from other pot to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water. Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Finish the Risotto

    Add 1/2 cup boiling water from other pot and stir often again until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.

    Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.

    Stir in peas until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in butter and green portions of green onions. Cover and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 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.

    Remove chicken to a plate and tent with foil. Remove from burner.
