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 breasts, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using top round steak, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 3-5 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-4 minutes per side. 

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut potatoes into 1" wedges.

    Stem, seed, remove ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1" dice.

    Peel and thinly slice shallot.

  2. 2

    Start the Vegetables

    Place potatoes, bell peppers, and shallots on prepared baking sheet. Top with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, garlic pepper, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Massage oil and seasonings into vegetables and spread into a single layer.

    Roast in hot oven until browned and tender, 30-35 minutes.

    While vegetables roast, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Sear the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

    Place a large oven-safe non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook until browned, 1-2 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner.

    Chicken will finish cooking in next step.

  4. 4

    Finish the Chicken and Vegetables

    Top chicken evenly with 1/3 the pesto (reserve remaining for sauce).

    Transfer pan to hot oven and roast until pesto darkens slightly and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 10-12 minutes.

    Cutlet thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner cutlet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

    Carefully remove from oven. Pan handle will be hot! Use an oven mitt.

  5. 5

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Combine cream base and remaining pesto in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel.

    Microwave covered until hot, 1-2 minutes.

    Carefully remove from microwave and stir in half the cheese (reserve remaining for garnish), and a pinch of pepper.

    Microwave covered again until cheese melts, 20-30 seconds.

    Carefully remove from microwave and stir until smooth and combined.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping chicken with sauce and garnishing with remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
