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) |

  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

  1. 1

    Start Potatoes and Prepare Ingredients

    Place all potatoes and 1 Tbsp. water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel.

    Microwave covered until tender, 4-6 minutes.

    While potatoes microwave, halve cheese slices.

    In a mixing bowl, combine cabbage, ranch seasoning, mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

    Carefully remove potatoes from microwave and drain any excess liquid. Transfer potatoes to a clean work surface. Using the flat side of an object (like a drinking glass), press down gently to smash each potato until 1/2" thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry. Season all over with 1/2 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat.

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

    Stir in BBQ sauce until coated, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Toast the Rolls

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

    Add rolls, cut-side down, to hot pan and toast until browned, 1-2 minutes.

    Transfer rolls to a plate. Keep pan over medium heat; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Crisp Potatoes and Finish Dish

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil to hot pan.

    Add smashed potatoes, potato spice seasoning, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Stir occasionally until potatoes are browned and crispy, 4-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping bottom roll with BBQ chicken, cheese, slaw, then top roll. Bon appétit!
