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 Ingredients and Make Sauce

    Coarsely chop slaw mix.

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

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine orange sauce (to taste) and butter.

    Microwave uncovered until butter is melted, 30-60 seconds.

    Carefully remove from microwave and stir to combine.

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

    Pat chicken dry.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add canola oil. Let heat, 5 minutes.

    While canola oil heats, in a mixing bowl, combine tempura mix, 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1/2 cup water. Stir until a thin batter forms, like pancake batter. Add chicken to batter and coat evenly.

    Test oil temperature by adding a pinch of batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Working in batches if necessary, lay chicken in hot oil away from you and flip occasionally until crispy, golden-brown, and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-6 minutes.

    Cutlet thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner cutlet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner. Remove from burner and transfer to towel-lined plate.

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Cook Fried Rice and Finish Dish

    Place another large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Add carrots, white portions of green onions, slaw mix, and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cover and cook until water is mostly evaporated and vegetables are tender, 3-5 minutes.

    Uncover pan and stir often until vegetables are lightly browned, 2-4 minutes.

    Add rice, a pinch of pepper, and soy sauce. Stir occasionally until combined and rice is heated through, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping chicken with sauce (to taste). Garnish rice with green portions of green onions. Bon appétit!
