Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

Customize It Instructions

  • If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Follow same instructions as diced chicken.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim woody ends off asparagus and cut into 1” pieces.

    Halve lemon lengthwise. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Cut roasted red peppers into 1/2" pieces.

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

    Mince shallot.

    Pat chicken dry.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a medium pot over medium heat.

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil and chicken to hot pot. Stir occasionally until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Transfer chicken to a plate. Keep pot over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Start the Chowder

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil and butter to hot pot. Let butter melt.

    Once butter has melted, add asparagus, white portions of green onions, shallot, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir occasionally until vegetables begin to soften, 3-4 minutes.

    Stir in flour until no dry flour remains in pot.

  4. 4

    Finish the Chowder

    Add 11/4 cups water, chicken broth concentrate, and cream cheese to hot pot. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until creamy and slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes.

    Stir in chicken and any accumulated juices, roasted red peppers, 2 tsp. lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper until heated through and combined.

    If too thick, add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.
