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. Follow same instructions.

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry.

    Spread panko on a plate in an even layer. Place chicken onto panko, coating one side completely, pressing gently to adhere.

    Place a medium oven-safe non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken, panko-side down, to hot pan and cook until browned on one side, 3-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Flip chicken and transfer pan to hot oven. Roast until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 8-10 minutes.

    To use an air fryer, place chicken, panko-side up, in basket and gently spray with cooking spray. Air fry at 375 degrees until panko is crisp and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 12-15 minutes.

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Carefully massage rice in bag to break up any clumps. Remove rice from packaging.

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Fried Rice

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

    Add white portions of green onions, edamame, a pinch of salt, ginger, and slaw mix to hot pan. Stir occasionally until slaw begins to brown, 2-3 minutes.

    Stir in umami seasoning until combined.

    Add rice. Stir often until rice is warmed through and vegetables are tender, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Heat Sauce and Finish Dish

    Place BBQ sauce in a microwave-safe bowl.

    Microwave uncovered until warmed through, 30-60 seconds.

    Carefully remove from microwave.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, slicing chicken, if desired, and topping fried rice with chicken, BBQ sauce, green portions of green onions, and sesame seeds. Bon appétit!
