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 thighs, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice and 1 1/4 cups water to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Remove from burner and set aside.

    While rice cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Stem and coarsely chop cilantro.

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

    Pat chicken dry and season all over with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

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

    Add chicken and onions to hot pan. Stir occasionally until onions are translucent and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Add curry powder, tomato puree, 1 cup water, and garlic salt to hot pan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low and stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 10-12 minutes.

    Stir in peas until combined and heated though, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in sour cream until combined.

    While sauce cooks, continue recipe.

  5. 5
