Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim green beans if necessary.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, toss green beans on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
While green beans roast, pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. TIP: If chicken cutlets are on the thicker side, reduce heat to medium and cover; cook 5-7 minutes on second side.
Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest.
Add jam, ponzu, Sriracha, and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings) to same pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 1-3 minutes. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in more water 1 tsp at a time.
Turn off heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper.
Slice chicken crosswise on a diagonal.
Divide chicken, green beans, and rice between plates. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
