This dish has 2 parts: Chicken Cutlets; Citrus Beurre Blanc.

QUICKTHAW CHICKEN AND SAUCE by submerging well-sealed packages in water 15-20 min.

Over medium-low heat, brown cutlets in a little oil, about 4 minutes each side or until internal temp of 165F is reached.  Be careful not too cook over too high heat – the pan should not be dark brown or the sauce will taste burned.  Remove cutlets and set aside while you prepare the sauce.  

SAUCE: Set butter pats aside for now- some thyme will stick to them, that’s fine! Pour contents of sauce (all except those buttter pats that you sat aside!) in pan on med-high heat. Make sure ALL sauce is scraped out of containers. Simmer until sauce is reduced by half. Remove from heat, add butter and whisk until creamy.

INTERNAL TEMP: 165F.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Spoon sauce over chicken. Serve with a side of fresh sauteed green beans and white rice.

This dish has 3 parts: Pork; Tortillas; Creamy Cilantro Sauce.

FREEZER TO INSTANT POT (BEST!): While pork cooks, let tortillas and Creamy Cilantro Sauce thaw at room temp. Add 1/2 cup water to instant pot. Pressure cook pork on high for 40 minutes. Quick release. Shred pork directly in pot. Set Instant Pot to "saute" and saute 10-15 min until liquid evaporates. Follow Creamy Cilantro Sauce and tortilla instructions below. (If pork is thawed, pressure cook on high for 30 minutes.)

THAW TO CROCKPOT: We recommend a small crock pot (1 1/2 quart) to ensure the pork stays tender. QUICKTHAW PORK by submerging well-sealed bag in warm water 10-15 min. Add 1/2 cup water to crock pot. Add pork (pork only - do not add Creamy Cilantro Sauce into crock pot) to crock pot and slow cook on low (cook all day) or medium (cook half day) until pork is tender. Remove pork from crock pot, leaving juices behind. Shred pork with a fork and add in juice from crock pot to taste, if desired. Follow Creamy Cilantro Sauce and tortilla instructions below.

TORTILLAS: Open one corner of the bag containing tortillas and microwave approx 20 seconds until steaming. CREAMY CILANTRO SAUCE: This sauce is served at room temp or slightly chilled. Shake sauce packet well, open and pour into small bowl.

THAW. Preheat oven to 350F. Bake, uncovered, 35-50 minutes until internal temp is reached and juices run clear. Discard any liquid in pan. PRO TIP: If you're in a hurry to thaw the chops, transfer them to a ziploc bag, seal tightly and submerge well-sealed bag in water 10-15 min until chops are thawed. Return to pan to bake.

OPTIONAL: Sear chops lightly on each side in a skillet on the stovetop and then finish baking in the oven until internal temp is reached. It’s a little extra work, but gives a nice color and seals in delicious flavor!

INTERNAL TEMP:160F. Please check the internal temp! Over-cooking pork is very common and causes pork (a lean meat) to become tough!

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Sautéed spinach drizzled with balsamic vinegar, baby carrots. Merlot.
