Prep: 5 Cook: 20
- ½cup jasmine rice
- 4TBS sweet soy glaze
- 10oz chopped chicken breast
- 2scallions
- 1thumb ginger
- 1tsp sriracha
- 2tsp honey
- 6oz green beans
- 1TBS sesame seeds
- salt & pepper
- cooking oil
Cook rice:
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce.
In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water, and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
Roast green beans:
While rice cooks, trim green beans if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast on top rack until golden-brown and tender, 12-15 minutes.
Prep & make sauce:
Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince ginger.
In a small bowl, combine soy glaze, honey, 2 TBS water, and Sriracha to taste.
Cook chicken:
Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 3- to 5-minutes.
Coat chicken:
Once chicken is browned, add scallion whites and ginger to pan. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Pour in sweet soy honey sauce, cook until sauce has thickened, and chicken is coated and cooked through, 2- to 3-minutes. Turn off heat.
Finish & serve:
Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
Tip: For extra flavor, stir in 1 TBS butter.
Divide rice, green beans, and chicken between plates. Garnish with scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve.
