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 diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using Italian sausage, remove from casing, if necessary. Break up sausage until no pink remains and sausage reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Stir occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut mushrooms into 1/4" slices.

    Pat chicken thighs dry. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

  2. 2

    Make the Topping

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add panko to hot pan and stir often until light golden-brown, 1-2 minutes,

    Remove from burner. Transfer panko to a mixing bowl. Set aside to cool, 3 minutes.

    After 3 minutes, stir in half the cheese (reserve remaining for sauce) and red pepper flakes (to taste). Set aside.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken and Mushrooms

    Return pan used to make topping to medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add chicken , 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper to hot pan and stir occasionally until chicken is lightly browned and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Add mushrooms and stir occasionally until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Add wine to hot pan. Stir often, scraping up any bits from bottom of pan, until wine has reduced by half, 1-2 minutes.

    Add tomato sauce, pasta, remaining cheese, garlic and parsley seasoning, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Stir occasionally until pasta is heated through and sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate as pictured on front of card, garnishing pasta with topping. Bon appétit!
