Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince ginger until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Zest and quarter lime.

Cook Rice
2

• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the minced ginger (you’ll use the rest later); cook, stirring, until softened, 1 minute. • Stir in rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4), 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 Broccoli
3

• While rice cooks, toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.

Cook Chicken
4

• While broccoli roasts, pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Transfer to a cutting board. Remove pan from heat to cool slightly.

Make Pan Sauce
5

• Return pan used for chicken to medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil, garlic, and remaining minced ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add jam, ponzu, and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Stir, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until combined and thickened, 3-4 minutes. • Remove pan from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and a squeeze of lime juice to taste.

Finish & Serve
6

• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in as much lime zest as you like. Season with salt to taste. • Slice chicken crosswise. • Divide rice, chicken, and broccoli between plates. Drizzle pan sauce over chicken. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
