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 |

  1. 1

    Start the Broccoli

    Trim discolored ends off broccoli, if necessary.

    In one provided tray, combine broccoli, 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Spread into an even layer. Cover tray with foil.

    Bake covered in hot oven, 10 minutes.

    While broccoli bakes, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Finely crush almonds in shipping bag.

    In a mixing bowl, combine panko, crushed almonds, and 1 tsp. olive oil. Set aside.

    Pat chicken dry and place in second provided tray. Top with 1 tsp. olive oil and massage oil into chicken. Season both sides with half the garlic pepper (reserve remaining for crema) and a pinch of salt. Top chicken evenly with mayonnaise, 1 tsp. pesto (reserve remaining for broccoli), then panko-almond mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

    After 10 minutes, carefully remove broccoli tray from oven and remove foil.

  3. 3

    Bake Meal and Make Crema

    Bake both trays uncovered in hot oven until broccoli is tender, panko-almond topping is golden-brown, and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 20-25 minutes.

    While meal bakes, in another mixing bowl, combine creme fraiche, remaining garlic pepper, and 2 tsp. water until smooth. Set aside.

    Carefully remove both trays from oven. Using a clean utensil, stir remaining pesto into broccoli.

    To serve, top chicken with crema and garnish broccoli with cheese. Bon appétit!
