Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince or grate garlic. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince whites. Zest and quarter lime.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium heat. Add garlic and half the chili powder to pot. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add rice, half the stock concentrates (you’ll use the rest later), 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 ready to serve.
• Toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes. TIP: Check broccoli after 10 minutes for doneness.
• Meanwhile, pat pork* dry with paper towels; season generously with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side (for thick pork chops, cook 1-2 minutes more on second side). Transfer pork to a plate. TIP: Wipe out any burned bits from pan.
Swap in chicken for pork; cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium heat. Add scallion whites and remaining chili powder; cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in ¼ cup water (1/3 cup for 4 servings), jam, and remaining stock concentrate. Cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat. Stir in ½ TBSP butter (1 TBSP for 4) and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Return pork and any resting juices to pan with sauce; turn a few times to coat. Transfer pork to a cutting board; slice crosswise.
Add chicken to pan with sauce and turn to coat. Slice chicken crosswise.
• Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in lime zest, half the scallion greens, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide pork, rice, and broccoli between plates. Spoon remaining pan sauce over pork; garnish with remaining scallion greens. Top broccoli with a squeeze of lime juice. Serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This has to be one of the best hello fresh meals! The red pepper jam with the cayenne is perfect on chicken. Will order every time.
My husband liked this more than I did. I felt the rice was too spicy, maybe a tip in there to use less if you want it less spicy. Also, I ordered this with chicken instead of pork but the recipe still was for pork chops. I had to guess a little on the cooking time of the chicken but that didn't bother me as much as the spice level.
I wasn't a fan of the rice, but the broccoli and chicken had great flavors! It was a fun meal to cook. Great use of fresh lime!
This was tasty, but the chili powder in the rice was so spicy it was a little difficult to eat. Definitely won't add the amount the recipe calls for next time. But the flavor of the sauce was yummy.
I received the wrong instruction sheet with this. Overall this was good, but the red pepper flavor was weak. I was expecting an actual red pepper in the recipe. I think adding that would be good. The jam wasn't enough.
Fresh and flavorful ... love the lime and red pepper jam combo.
This rice was amazing, and the chicken(I substituted) with the jam was "bangin'" according to my boyfriend!
Loved this recipe and hello fresh, my only complaint is there was not enough broccoli. I feel for 2 meals there probably should have been 2 heads. Other than that it was a wonderful, delicious meal
The broccoli was very good. I thought the sauce was a little too thin and looked different from the picture. The chicken quality was good
Excellent flavor. My hubby doesn't like onions or scallions, so I just left them out. The rice and sauce both still had plenty of flavor without them.
