Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Toss green beans on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 10-12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a medium, preferably nonstick, pan (use a large nonstick pan for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a cutting board. Wipe out pan.
• Return same pan to medium-high heat. Add chili sauce, miso sauce concentrate, ponzu, and 2 TBSP water (¼ cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until just thickened, 1 minute. • Turn off heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Massage rice in package to break up grains; partially open top. Insert 1 TBSP butter into package (for 4 servings, use 1 TBSP butter per package). Microwave for 90 seconds. Fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice between plates. Thinly slice chicken; place on top of rice. Pour sauce over chicken and serve with green beans on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
I really liked the lemongrass rice in the microwaveable packet! Tastes better than the usual jasmine rice with a lot less cleanup and just 90 seconds of cooking time! This should be a rice complement in many more hello fresh meals! The miso chili sauce on the chicken was delicious.
This was good. The lemongrass rice really hit with that chicken and the sauce. The green beans were, green beans, not much to say about that, but everything else was great and the sauce was really easy to make.
This one surprised me at how good it was! The miso chili thai sauce and the lemongrass rice were so delicious. Overall great balance of flavor between all the components of this meal.
Super fast, super easy, full of flavor. I was worried my picky husband wouldn't be into the lemongrass rice, but it was such a perfect compliment to the miso chili chicken, and he loved it!
The miso sauce was so good along with the lemongrass rice. Our green beans were a little off. Not sure if they were the freshest.
I was pleasantly surprised with the lemongrass brown rice. All I can say is WOW this was soooo good. Husband LOVED these green beans. He even asked why I hardly ever cook chicken like this well I guess I will more often now.
Yum! The rice was kind of a hack, since it came in a bag, and it was VERY LEMONGRASS-Y but it all went together very well! Roasting green beans was very easy and super good!
Love the new lemongrass brown rice. The flavor and texture are really nice and the cook time is even nicer. Loved the miso sauce!
Great chicken recipe, my husband was not a fan of the lemon grass rice, with the sauce on it was really good. I'm so loving trying new recipes and new flavors. Great food Hello Fresh ❣️
Everything was easy & yummy. Although the lemon grass rice didn't have as much flavor as I thought it would. Loved that the rice was brown jasmine & fresh green beans completed the meal.
