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 16 oz. scallops, follow same instructions as 8 oz., working in batches if necessary. 

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

  • If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook until pink and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and cut potatoes into 1/2" dice.

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" dice.

    Stem poblano, seed, and cut into 1/4" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

    Pat scallops dry and season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

  2. 2

    Cook the Scallops

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

    Add scallops to hot pot and cook undisturbed, 90 seconds.

    After 90 seconds, stir occasionally until scallops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 60-90 seconds.

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

  3. 3

    Start the Chowder

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil, onions, poblanos (to taste), potatoes, 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and Chesapeake seasoning to hot pot. Stir occasionally until combined and vegetables are slightly browned, 6-8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Chowder

    Add flour to hot pot and stir often until no dry flour remains.

    Add 2 cups water, cream base, vegetable base, corn, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until vegetables are tender and chowder is slightly thickened, 11-13 minutes.

    Add scallops and stir occasionally until combined, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While chowder cooks, continue recipe.

  5. 5

    Toast Ciabatta and Finish Dish

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add ciabatta, cut-side down, to hot pan. Toast until slightly browned, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer to another plate and evenly top with softened butter.

    Alternatively, use a toaster to toast ciabatta as desired, then evenly top with softened butter.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, halving ciabatta diagonally, if desired. Bon appétit!
