The path to dinner bliss is as simple as breaking out a frying pan! You’ll stir-fry chicken and snap peas in a garlicky hoisin-infused sweet soy sauce, and serve over a bed of steamy scallion rice infused with bright, citrusy lime zest. Finish with a dreamy drizzle of creamy chili sauce, then sprinkle with zingy fresh scallion greens and a squeeze of lime juice. This symphony of flavors and textures comes together so easily, it may signal the last time you order in!

Cooking Steps
• In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a 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 use in Step 5.
• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Zest and quarter lime. Trim and remove strings from snap peas if needed. Trim scallions; cut whites into ½-inch-thick pieces and thinly slice greens.
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream, ½ tsp chili sauce, juice from one lime wedge, and a pinch of salt (for 4 servings, use 1 tsp chili sauce and juice from two lime wedges). • Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
• Meanwhile, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a 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, 3-4 minutes. • Add snap peas and scallion whites to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until snap peas are tender and chicken is cooked through, 2-3 minutes more. • Remove pan from heat. Add hoisin sauce, remaining chili sauce, and 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings); stir until everything is thoroughly coated.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in half the scallion greens and as much lime zest as you like.
• Divide rice between bowls and top with stir-fry. Drizzle with creamy chili sauce and sprinkle with remaining scallion greens. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the tasty blend of sweet and savory sauces, though some found it too sweet or bland.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, with pre-diced chicken saving time for many cooks 🍲.
- Suggestions: Consider adding crunchy toppings like peanuts or fried onions; steam snap peas first for better texture.
- Portions: Several felt rice and vegetable portions were too small; adding extra veggies like bell peppers helped.
- Texture: Crisp, fresh snap peas were a hit, though some found them stringy or tough.
Reviews from our home cooks
What a delightful meal! The sauce and seasoning were perfect as we went a little scant on the chili sauce. Always enjoy any citrus in our meals as it makes the meal light and refreshing. Snap peas were fresh.
YUMMY! One of my FAVORITE recipes! Easy to make, great on calories, and DELICIOUS! I would give it another star if I could! I also loved having snap peas! They are such a great vegetable (and it was nice to get something different than carrots and broccoli for a change)! Please bring this one back, because I would definitely get it again!
This was a super easy and healthy recipe. Really liked the sugar snap peas.
The snap peas were so fresh and crisp, and the seasoning was sweet and savory. We loved it!
Needed more oomph on the flavors, but I appreciate the snap peas and would love to see them in more recipes. I also appreciate the chicken being cut up - super fast to make.
My husband and I loved this. Kids did not like it (snap peas and sweet chili sauce are two things I can't get them to enjoy). Next time, I will definitely get this meal, but will make the kids something else and the adults can enjoy this for two nights in a row!
I enjoyed the lime flavored rice along with the seasoned chicken. An excellent meal. Nice proportions.
I love anything with pea pods! This was great. Wish there was some spice or at least a more pronounced seasoning. The 2 sauces that were included just kind of muted each other. Also that rice... Again is blaaaaahhh. Needs a kick of something in the recipe.
Very good stir fry. So simple and good tasting. It goes on my fav list.
LOVED the sugar snap peas, very taste-of-Spring! Light, healthy dish.
