Before You Cook

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

Customize It Instructions

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Stem basil, stack leaves, roll into a long cylinder, and slice lengthwise to create very thin strips.

    Pat chicken dry. Season all over with savory seasoning, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken and Leeks

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add chicken and leeks to hot pan. Stir occasionally until chicken is lightly browned and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Rice

    Add tomato puree to hot pan. Stir constantly until combined, 60-90 seconds.

    Add rice and stir often until combined, 30-60 seconds.

  4. 4

    Add the Broth

    Add 3 1/4 cups water, garlic salt, and chicken base to hot pan. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 20-22 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish Casserole and Finish Dish

    Uncover; add cream base, pesto, and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pan. Stir often until combined, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping rice mixture with basil and garnishing with cheese. Bon appétit!
