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 until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Trim zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut into 1/2" slices on an angle.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Place panko on a plate and spread into an even layer.

    Pat chicken dry and season all over with garlic pepper and a pinch of salt. Top chicken with mayonnaise and spread into an even layer on both sides. Place chicken onto panko, flipping to coat, pressing gently to adhere to both sides.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan. Cook undisturbed until browned on one side, 3-5 minutes.

    Flip and evenly spread marinara over chicken. Top with mozzarella and half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for garnish). Cover and cook until cheese melts and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 2-3 minutes.

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

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Cook Zucchini and Finish Dish

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add zucchini to hot pan and stir occasionally until lightly browned and tender, 6-8 minutes.

    If pan becomes dry, add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, as needed.

    Add pesto, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Stir to combine. Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping zucchini with remaining Parmesan. Bon appétit!
