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 20 oz. diced chicken breasts, follow same instructions as 10 oz., working in batches if necessary. 

  • If using diced chicken thighs, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/2" dice.

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

    Stem cilantro and reserve whole leaves.

    Pat chicken dry. Halve any larger pieces to match smaller pieces, if desired.

  2. 2

    Start the Soup

    Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add chicken and bell peppers to hot pot. Stir occasionally until chicken is golden-brown, 5-7 minutes.

    Chicken will finish cooking in a later step.

  3. 3

    Finish the Soup

    Add zucchini, tomatoes, chicken base, chipotle paste (use less if spice-averse), chile and cumin rub, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1 cup water to hot pot. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until vegetables are tender and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing soup with sour cream, tortilla strips, and cilantro. Bon appétit!
