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

  • If using filets mignon, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 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.

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with adobo seasoning.

    Evenly spread panko on a plate. Place chicken onto panko, pressing gently to adhere to one side.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken, panko-side down first, to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side.

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

    Remove from burner. Transfer chicken to another plate.

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

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

    Stem thyme.

    Crush crispy red peppers in shipping bag.

  3. 3

    Cook the Zucchini

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

    Add zucchini to hot pan. Stir occasionally until lightly browned and tender, 6-8 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in pesto and a pinch of salt until combined.

    While zucchini cooks, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, creme fraiche, 1 tsp. water, buttermilk-dill seasoning, and 1/2 tsp. thyme. Set aside.
