Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

Grains

  • 1 cup long-grain rice

Liquids

  • 2 cups chicken broth

Sauces

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your choice)
  • 1/4 cup honey

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (frozen or fresh)

Garnish

  • Chopped green onions or parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat. Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add a drizzle of oil to the pan and sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add the uncooked rice and toast it for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour in the chicken broth, then stir in the BBQ sauce and honey.
  3. Return the seared chicken to the pan, nestling it into the rice mixture. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. After 15 minutes, sprinkle the mixed vegetables over the rice. Cover again and continue cooking for 5 more minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp of 165°F/74°C).
  5. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley, and serve hot!
