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

    Line a microwave-safe plate with a paper towel. Spread bacon evenly on towel-lined plate. Microwave until crisp, 1-2 minutes.

    While bacon microwaves, peel and cut potatoes into 1" dice.

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

    Carefully remove bacon from microwave.

    Pat chicken dry. Halve any large pieces to roughly match smaller pieces. Season all over with half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for broth).

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

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

    Add chicken to hot pot. Stir occasionally until chicken browns and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 7-9 minutes.

    Transfer chicken to a plate. Keep pot over medium-high heat; no need to wipe clean.

  3. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil, potatoes, white portions of green onions, and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pot. Stir occasionally until potatoes are slightly browned, 3-5 minutes.

    Add flour and stir until no dry flour remains.

  4. 4

    Add the Broth

    Add 4 1/2 cups water, cream base, chicken base, remaining garlic salt, and garlic pepper to hot pot. Stir to combine, cover, and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until potatoes are tender, 10-12 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Chicken and Finish Dish

    Add cream cheese, chicken, half the crispy bacon (reserve remaining for garnish), and half the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for garnish) to hot pot. Stir often until combined and chowder is slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1/4 cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping chowder with sour cream, remaining shredded cheese, green portions of green onions, and remaining crispy bacon. Bon appétit!
