Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Zest and quarter lemon (for 4 servings, zest 1 lemon and quarter both). Pick cilantro leaves from stems; roughly chop leaves. • In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until step 5.
• While rice cooks, trim green beans if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Transfer to a plate.
• To same pan over medium-high heat, add jam, stock concentrate, mustard, juice from half the lemon (1 whole lemon for 4 servings), and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4). Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 3-5 minutes. • Turn off heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Season with salt and pepper. • Add chicken and turn to coat.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and half the chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. • Carefully toss green beans with lemon zest to taste.
• Divide rice, chicken, and green beans between plates. Spoon any remaining sauce from pan over chicken and sprinkle with remaining chopped cilantro. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Loved the glaze on the chicken, loved the lemony green beans. Love the cilantro flavor but your cooking instructions on your rice are off. I am now adding double or triple the water to ensure our rice is cooked and/or not burned. I love the flavor combos on your rice sides. Just need updated cooking instructions.
We enjoyed the flavor pairings in this dish. The lemony green beans, cilantro infused rice and the slight heat of the red pepper chicken.
Loved the jammy chicken and the roasted green beans made me a believer! I've tried them from other recipes and they've never turned out well.
The chicken was incredible and the jammy sauce mixed with the rice, beans, and chicken in one bite was a symphony!
Love the Red Pepper Jam. It is to die for, but it would be cool if we sometimes add more flavor to the rice (cooked with chicken broth concentrate or mix in some type of seasoning such as smoked paprika or something. So many meals with white rice....
Surprisingly I really loved this recipe and would make again. The Jammy Red Pepper sauce was so good and made the entire dish.
Amazing flavors! The chicken took longer than instructed, and I had to add more water than it called for to the rice. Really loved the lemon zest on the green beans, and the sauce for the chicken is above and beyond!
Good balance of flavors. Put both cilantro and lemon zest in the rice and steam the beans so it's not so greasy
The chicken was great! When my husband tells me it's amazing, I know the recipe is a keeper. I ended up using green beans I had in my refrigerator because the ones that came in the meal kit started going bad 2 days after delivery. I also used my own cilantro since the one in the kit wilted too quickly.
Chicken was extremely tender and tasty. The sauce was a nice tasty surprise. The green beans and rice were a great combination to this meal. Also a quick and easy meal.
