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

    Coarsely chop water chestnuts.

    Pat chicken thighs dry, and season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

    If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1" pieces. If using shrimp, pat dry. If using flank steak, separate steak into a single layer and pat dry. Season all proteins all over same amount.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and stir occasionally until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Carefully transfer chicken to a mixing bowl, leaving excess oil in pan. Stir in half the kung pao sauce and honey until well-coated. Taste, and add remaining kung pao sauce if desired. Set aside.

    If using shrimp, follow same instructions and cook until shrimp reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side. If using flank steak, follow same instructions and stir occasionally until no pink remains, 4-6 minutes.

    While chicken cooks, cook vegetables.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

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

    Add bok choy, water chestnuts, matchstick carrots, and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until lightly browned and tender, 3-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Heat Tortillas and Finish Dish

    Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave until warm, 30 seconds.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, filling tortillas with chicken and vegetables, and topping with peanuts. Bon appétit!
