Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (frozen or fresh)

Instructions

  1. Sear the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add oil and sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from pan.
  2. Toast the Rice: In the same skillet, add uncooked rice and toast for 1-2 minutes while stirring. Pour in chicken broth and stir in BBQ sauce and honey until well combined.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Return seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the rice mixture. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Add Vegetables: Sprinkle mixed vegetables over rice, cover again, and cook an additional 5 minutes until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
  5. Fluff and Serve: Let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice. Garnish with green onions or parsley if desired.
