Crispy panko-crusted chicken, fluffy scallion-flecked rice, and tender roasted green beans. To finish things off, the chicken is drizzled with ponzu chili mayo.
Prep: 5 Cook: 30
- 2scallions
- 1tsp garlic powder
- 1tsp ponzu sauce
- 4TBS mayonnaise
- 10oz chicken cutlets
- ½cup panko breadcrumbs
- 6oz green beans
- 1oz sweet Thai chili sauce
- ½cup jasmine rice
- salt & pepper
- cooking oil
- butter
Prep & mix:
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim green beans if necessary.
In a small bowl, combine panko, garlic powder, a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
In a separate small bowl, combine ponzu, chili sauce, and half the mayonnaise (you’ll use the rest later).
Cook rice:
Melt 1 TBS butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, cook until slightly softened, 1 minute.
Stir in 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 chicken & green beans:
While rice cooks, pat chicken dry with paper towels, season all over with salt and pepper.
Place chicken on one side of a baking sheet. Spread remaining mayonnaise onto tops of chicken, then mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).
Toss green beans on empty side of same sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast on top rack until chicken is browned and cooked through and green beans are tender, 15-18 minutes.
Tip: If green beans finish first, remove from sheet and continue roasting chicken.
Finish & serve:
Fluff rice with a fork, season with salt and pepper.
Divide rice, green beans, and chicken between plates. Drizzle chicken with ponzu chili mayo and sprinkle with scallion greens. Serve.
