Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, chopped or left whole
  • 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups chicken broth, warm if possible
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken. In a large skillet, sprinkle the chicken evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Sear the chicken. Heat some oil in the skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  4. Toast the rice. In the same skillet, add the rice and stir for 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Add liquids and sauce. Pour in the chicken broth, BBQ sauce, and honey, and bring to a simmer.
  6. Add vegetables and return chicken. Add the mixed vegetables, and nestle the chicken into the rice.
  7. Cover and finish cooking. Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking until the rice is tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  8. Serve and enjoy. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed, then serve hot.

Notes

If you want extra browning, finish under a hot broiler for a minute before serving.
