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 Chicken

    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper and half the Asian garlic, ginger & chile seasoning (use less if spice-averse; reserve remaining for panko mixture). Evenly top chicken with mayonnaise.

    Combine panko, 3/4 the sesame seeds (reserve remaining for garnish), and remaining Asian garlic, ginger & chile seasoning (to taste) on a plate. Spread into an even layer.

    Place chicken, mayonnaise-side down, onto panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere to one side.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

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

    Add chicken to hot pan and cook undisturbed until browned, 2-3 minutes.

    Lower heat to medium. Flip chicken and cook until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Start the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim stems off Brussels sprouts and halve vertically (quarter if larger than a ping-pong ball).

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

    Add Brussels sprouts and diced peppers to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender and browned, 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish Brussels Sprouts and Finish Dish

    Add orange ginger sesame sauce, soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp. water to hot pan with Brussels. Stir occasionally until sauce is slightly thickened and Brussels sprouts and diced peppers are coated, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping Brussels with peanuts and remaining sesame seeds. Bon appétit!
