Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), 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.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower rice (no need to drain), and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6-8 minutes. Turn off heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• 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.
• Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince ginger. • In a small bowl, combine hoisin, honey, 2 TBSP water (3 TBSP for 4 servings), and Sriracha to taste.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 3-5 minutes.
• Once chicken is browned, add scallion whites and ginger to pan. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Pour in hoisin honey sauce. Cook until sauce has thickened and chicken is coated and cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.
• Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper. TIP: For extra flavor, stir in 1 TBSP butter; 2 TBSP for 4 servings. • Divide rice, green beans, and chicken between plates. Garnish with scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many loved the delicious hoisin-honey sauce, though some found it a bit too sweet; consider adding rice vinegar for balance.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, perfect for weeknight dinners. Some appreciated the option to substitute cauliflower rice 🍚.
- Suggestions: Consider adding cashews or almonds for crunch. Try sautéing green beans instead of roasting for more flavor.
- Portions: Several mentioned chicken portions were small; some wanted more vegetables to make the meal more filling.
- Texture: Some found the chicken pieces too small and uneven; larger, more uniform cuts would improve the dish.
Reviews from our home cooks
Delicious meal. I love the spice of the hoisin & the honey to calm it down a little. We subbed out the rice for the cauliflower rice & it was amazing. We will do that everytime. Please always offer this - i loved it!
We love spicy dishes and this one hit the spot. Easy prep and short cook time made it taste even better. I did request cauliflower rice in place of the jasmine, but received the jasmine anyway. Worked out, hubby ate that rice and i had the green beans.
Huge hit in our house, but not so much for the person doing clean-up. 😆 Made gluten-free by making a simple GF hoisin sauce with stuff I had on-hand, but otherwise, made as instructed. I was suprised how quickly the family ate this all up, and even our picky youngest was obsessed with the crisped green beans.
My husband and I both loved this meal. We both love spicy food and thought the hoisin honey sauce was delicious!
Very good. I would have swapped the rice for cauliflower rice but it was still good. Pretty easy to make. Sauce was good but a little thin at first. We thickened it up. Would recommend.
So delicious! I love that you offer cauliflower rice!!! I eat low carb but my husband likes regular rice better so it was WONDERFUL that you still included the real rice. I usually have rice at hand but yours are portioned better and include the directions.
Really good! I would have prefere to cust the green beans after it cooked and add it to the chicken. The server over rice / or cauliflower.
I steamed the green beans because they are usually old and don't translate well when roasted. I also chopped them up after steaming to aldenté and added to the pot. Flavor could have been a bit stronger.
Great option! Would recommend more green beans and less rice though
Oh my gosh so deliciously!!! The green beans were bad though so we had those use our own from our pantry.
