Before You Cook

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 in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using top round steak, pat dry. Cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil 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.

  1. 1

    Prepare Green Beans and Make Batter

    Trim ends off green beans, if necessary.

    Stem jalapeño, halve, remove ribs and seeds, and mince. Wash hands and cutting board after working with jalapeño.

    In a mixing bowl, combine corn muffin mix, jalapeños (use less if spice-averse), and 1 cup water until a thick batter forms. If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Chicken and Green Beans

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

    Place chicken on one side of prepared baking sheet. Top evenly with mayonnaise, then crispy onions, pressing gently to adhere.

    Add green beans to empty side of baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Spread into a single layer on their side.

  3. 3

    Roast the Green Beans and Chicken

    Roast in hot oven until green beans are tender and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 15-20 minutes.

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

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While green beans and chicken roast, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cornbread Cakes

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

    Working in batches, add four separate 1/4 cup scoops of corn muffin batter to hot pan. Cook undisturbed until bubbles form on surface and bottom is lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

    Gently flip and cook undisturbed until cooked through and lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer to a plate and loosely tent with foil to keep warm.

    Replenish oil, if necessary. Repeat with remaining batter. You should have 8 cakes total.

  5. 5

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Combine cherry preserves, BBQ sauce, and 1 Tbsp. water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel.

    Microwave covered until warm, 30-60 seconds.

    Carefully remove from microwave.
