Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and dice carrots into ½-inch pieces. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Zest and quarter lemon.
• 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 heat to a low simmer. Cook, covered, until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• Toss carrots on one side of a baking sheet (spread out across entire sheet for 4 servings) with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack for 10 minutes. • Remove sheet from oven. Toss zucchini on empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4, leave carrots roasting; toss zucchini on a second sheet and roast on middle rack.) Return to oven until veggies are tender and lightly browned, 10-15 minutes more. • Let cool 2 minutes; transfer veggies to a medium bowl. Toss with lemon zest and chili flakes to taste.
• Meanwhile, pat pork dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer pork to a plate to rest.
Pat chicken or organic chicken dry with paper towels; season all over with a large pinch of salt and pepper. Swap in chicken or organic chicken for pork; cook 3-5 minutes per side.
• In pan used for pork, stir in hot honey, jam, stock concentrates, ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings), and juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4). Increase heat to medium high and bring sauce to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4); season with salt and pepper. • Transfer pork to pan with sauce; turn to coat.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and season with salt and pepper to taste. • Divide rice, veggies, and pork between plates. Spoon any remaining sauce over pork. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
*Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Easy to make chicken came out juicy and was a hit! Great flavor sweet and spicy! Veggies came out thin dry but tasted good mix! Rice was simple, added more spices and herbs.
The sauce is so good and sweet. I switched to chicken and it is so easy to make! The veggies and rice were really easy to prepare as well!
Hot honey Peach was a fun flavor. The carrots we get are consistently blah. We grow our own and I have had nice sweet carrots to substitute in. Always need more sauce.
We chose chicken as our protein vs. pork, and it was really good! I wish we'd done a little more with the rice than the recipe called for; a nice lime zest mix-in could have been a good addition.
The vegetables were delicious, but the chicken didn't live up to the name. It wasn't hot and didn't have a peach flavor. The chicken stock concentrate overpowered the sauce.
We love this recipe! It's not too spicy but it's so good! We subbed for the chicken and it's still so delicious!
The chicken pieces are not similar in size and one piece takes longer to cook, making the other one over done and dry. Otherwise, it's a very yummy dish.
8.5/10 sauce was delish! First time carrots were not sealed & I could bend them all into horseshoes! I had some broccoli & cauliflower, so I roasted that instead.
Excellent! A keeper! Great combination of sweet and spicy, but not too spicy hot.
This was super good! But it took me over 2 hours to make. Started it at 5:30, we ate at 8:30.
