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) |

  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes.

    Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander. Set aside.

    While pasta cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and mince shallot.

    Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into 1/2" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

    Pat chicken breasts dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1" dice. Season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken and Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook undisturbed until browned, 2-3 minutes.

    Then stir often until browned on two sides and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-4 minutes.

    Transfer chicken to a plate. Keep pan over medium-high heat.

    Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil and poblano pepper. Stir occasionally, 2 minutes.

    Add shallot and stir occasionally until shallot begins to caramelize, 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Sprinkle vegetables with 1 Tbsp. flour (not included in your box) and stir until vegetables are coated and no dry flour remains in pan.

    Add pasta cooking water, cream cheese, seasoning blend, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir constantly until thickened and creamy, 2-3 minutes.

    Stir in chicken, pasta, and half the cheddar cheese (reserve remaining for garnish) until combined and heated through.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish
