This dish has 2 parts: Chicken; Sauce. 

QUICKTHAW CHICKEN AND SAUCE. Submerge well-sealed sauce in warm water for 15-20 minutes to thaw.

Over medium-low heat, brown cutlets in a little oil, about 4 minutes each side or until desired browning is obtained. Be careful not too cook over too high heat.  The pan should not be dark brown or the sauce will not cook properly. Remove cutlets and deglaze pan with sauce. Once sauce is heated throughout and slightly thickened, return cutlets to sauce and simmer until internal temp reaches 165F. Remove from heat and let the dish "rest" for 5 min before serving - this allows the sauce to thicken a bit. 

INTERNAL TEMPERATURE: 165F

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Fresh sauteed asparagus and Sweet Corn Mashed Potatoes.

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!

FREEZER TO INSTANT POT: Run warm water around outside of plastic container 1-2 min to loosen the entree. Add 3/4 cup water to Instant Pot. Pop frozen entree out of container and place carrot-side down in Instant Pot.  Lock lid into place and make sure valve is in the Sealing position. Pressure cook on high pressure for 55 minutes. Quick Release carefully - the steam will burn! (Tip: We use a kitchen towel to cover the valve and release the pressure in small increments.) Once the valve drops down and the pressure has been completely released, open the Instant Pot and stir. For a thicker gravy, turn the Instant Pot on Saute and simmer, uncovered, for up to 10 min, stirring constantly. 

OPTION: Can also do a Natural Release + Keep Warm if more convenient. Follow gravy instructions above. 

PRO INSTANT POT TIP: Occasionally the pressure valve on an Instant Pot won't pop up, but the timer will start. If the valve has not popped up, the Instant Pot has not reached pressure and the dish will not cook properly. If this happens, hit the cancel button and carefully open the Instant Pot. Stir dish, scraping up any bits off the bottom of the inner pot, and then restart the cooking process. 

CROCK POT: Thaw pot roast completely. Add 3/4 cup water to bottom of crock pot, stir in pot roast. Slow cook on high for 3 to 5 hours until beef is fork-tender. Crock pots can vary significantly; if beef is not tender after 5 hours, it needs to cook more! Before serving, stir gravy to mix well. If gravy is too thin, pour into a saucepan and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickens to desired consistency.

INTERNAL TEMP: 165F.

If preparing a Petite portion, we recommend a 2-qt crock pot to ensure beef stays tender and moist.  Add contents of Ziploc plus 1/4 cup water (1/2 cup water for family-size) to a crock pot.  Cook on low to medium heat for 6-8 hours – or on high for 3-4 hours - or until beef is tender. If beef remains tough, continue cooking! Crock pots do vary in temperature.  Remove beef from crock pot, and reserve the liquid that is in the crock pot! Shred beef with fork and/or fingers. Simmer the reserved liquid in a small saucepan until it begins to thicken and is reduced by at least half. Toss shredded beef in the reduced liquid.

To Serve: Slice rolls and fill with equal amounts of shredded beef. Top beef with a slice of Swiss cheese.  Gently microwave sandwiches to warm rolls and melt cheese – start with 15-20 seconds. Finish sliders with Bistro Sauce! (Careful not to microwave too long or bread will harden.)
