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 the Ingredients

    Trim zucchini ends and slice into 1/2" rounds. Zucchini quantity may vary, but total weight will remain the same. Don't worry; recipe instructions are not impacted.

    In a mixing bowl, combine marinara and half the red pepper flakes (to taste; remaining are yours to use as you please!). Set aside.

    Combine half the panko (reserve remaining for chicken) and Parmesan in another mixing bowl. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry.

    Cover chicken with plastic wrap. You may also use a gallon bag for easier clean-up. Pound with a heavy object to an even 1/4" thickness.

    Remove plastic wrap. Coat one side of chicken evenly with remaining panko, pressing gently to adhere. If panko doesn't stick, spray chicken with cooking spray.

  3. 3

    Start the Zucchini

    Place zucchini on prepared baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Toss with garlic salt and a pinch of pepper. Spread into a single layer and top evenly with Parmesan-panko mixture.

    Roast in hot oven, 12 minutes.

    While zucchini roasts, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Start the Chicken

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil. Let heat, 5 minutes.

    While oil heats, line a plate with a paper towel.

    After 5 minutes, test oil temperature by adding a pinch of panko to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.

    Add chicken to hot pan, panko-side down first, and cook until golden-brown and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer to towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Rest, 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish Zucchini and Chicken and Finish Dish

    After 12 minutes, carefully remove from oven. Push zucchini to one side of baking sheet. Sheet will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Transfer chicken, panko-side up, to now-empty side of baking sheet. Top evenly with marinara mixture (to taste), then mozzarella, pressing gently to adhere.

    Roast again in hot oven until mozzarella has melted and panko on zucchini is golden-brown, 5-6 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card. Bon appétit!
