Instructions

Cook Rice
1

• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • In a small pot, combine rice, 11⁄4 cups water (21⁄4 cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Prep
2

• Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1⁄4-inch-thick half-moons. Trim green beans if necessary. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!

Roast Veggies
3

• Toss zucchini on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. • Toss green beans on empty side of sheet with a drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, toss zucchini and green beans on two separate sheets.) • Roast on top rack until veggies are browned and tender, 10-12 minutes. (For 4, roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)

Make Slaw
4

• While veggies roast, in a medium bowl, toss together cabbage and carrot mix, half the vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt until combined (all the vinegar and 2 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cook Chicken
5

• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 2-4 minutes more. • Stir in sweet soy glaze, half the chili sauce, and 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4 servings); cook until sauce has reduced and chicken is coated, 30-60 seconds.

Make Sauce
6

• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, remaining chili sauce, and as much Sriracha as you like (we used 1⁄2 tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings).

Finish Rice & Serve
7

• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). • Serve rice, zucchini, green beans, slaw, chicken, firecracker sauce, crispy fried onions, and any remaining Sriracha family style and let everyone build their own bowls.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
