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

    Start Sweet Potatoes and Prepare Green Onions

    Peel and cut sweet potato into 1" dice.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

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

    Add sweet potatoes, white portions of green onions, Asian garlic, ginger & chile seasoning (to taste), garlic salt, and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Cover and stir occasionally until sweet potatoes are tender and lightly browned, 8-12 minutes.

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

    Remove from burner.

    While sweet potatoes cook, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

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

    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Evenly top chicken with mayonnaise. Place chicken, mayonnaise-side down, onto panko, pressing gently to adhere to one side.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Place another large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Add chicken to hot pan, panko-side down first. Cook until lightly browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side.

    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

    Heat Rice, Make Sauce, and Finish Dish

    Carefully massage rice in bag to break up any clumps.

    Remove rice from packaging and place in a microwave-safe bowl.

    Microwave uncovered until heated through, 3-4 minutes.

    Carefully remove from microwave. Rest, 2 minutes.

    Fluff rice with a fork.

    While rice rests, in a mixing bowl, combine BBQ sauce and soy sauce. Set aside.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping rice with sweet potatoes and chicken. Garnish with sauce and green portions of green onions. Bon appétit!
