Sweet-As-Honey Chicken

with Green Beans over Jasmine Rice

Recipe Development Team
Recipe Development TeamPublished on July 15, 2019

We all have a soft spot for the sticky-sweet chicken that’s a staple of takeout dinners. But it’s not exactly a meal for any night of the week—until now. We’re swapping out the heavy glaze for a fresh burst of ginger and a swirl of honey and soy sauce. Served with tender green beans on a bed of jasmine rice, it’ll give you a good reason to toss out the phone number for your delivery joint.

Instructions

Prep
1

In a small pot, combine ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, wash and dry all produce (except green beans). Mince garlic. Cut lime into wedges. Peel and mince ginger until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4).

Cook Rice and Chicken
2

Once water is boiling, add rice to pot. Cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. Meanwhile, 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 and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside.

Cook Aromatics
3

Heat another drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and minced ginger. Cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add vinegar and let cook until almost evaporated.

Make Glaze
4

Stir stock concentrate, honey, half the soy sauce (use all for 4 servings), and 2 TBSP water (¼ cup for 4) into pan. Simmer until mixture is thick and glossy, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat; return chicken to pan and turn to coat in glaze.

Cook Green Beans
5

Pierce green bean bag with a fork; place bag on a plate. Microwave until tender, 1-2 minutes. (TIP: No microwave? No problem! Steam beans in a small pot with a splash of water until just tender, 5-7 minutes.) Carefully transfer to a medium bowl and toss with 1 TBSP butter until melted. Squeeze in lime juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve
6

Divide rice between plates. Top with green beans, chicken, and any remaining glaze. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
