Instructions

1. Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings) and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
2. While rice cooks, trim green beans if needed. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 12-15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince ginger. In a small bowl, combine hoisin, honey, 2 tablespoons water (3 tablespoons for 4 servings) and Sriracha to taste.
4. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 3-5 minutes.
5. Once chicken is browned, add scallion whites and ginger to pan. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in hoisin honey sauce. Cook until sauce has thickened and chicken is coated and cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.
6. Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper. For extra flavor, stir in 1 tablespoon butter (2 tablespoons for 4 servings). Divide rice, green beans and chicken between plates. Garnish with scallion greens and sesame seeds. Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°F.
