Anthony Mark Allen (28) stole the herb from the young men's student house in Hungate, Lincoln.
He walked through their open door and tried to demand cash from them, Lincoln Crown Court was told.
He was aggressive and told the students he would beat them up if they refused to give him £15,000.
But in the end he settled for stealing the chives - and stuffed a few books and DVDs in his pocket too.
He later told police he had been drinking heavily and taking prescription drugs. Allen was jailed for three years minus the 46 days he had already served.
